    Real Champion

    Absorbing but harrowing film to watch , however it's important to see these real life hero stories brought to our attention

    Piotr Glowacki is spellbinding in his lead role as Teddy.

    Great acting from 'teddy' and a real look at the realities of Aushwitz

    I loved it, I didn't take my eyes of the screen for one second. It made a lot of people cry in the audience. A must watch.

    Good movie but...

    I have never heard of this story before if I did, it has been a long time. I watched this in honor of all those who lost their lives in Auschwitz Concentration Camp and the other concentration camps. I didn't realize that this movie takes place during the early days of Auschwitz. Everything from the acting, to cinematography excellent but I have one main problem, if I want to watch a foreign film I expect to hear the native language like Polish and German and use English subtitles. This is one moving and yet powerful movie, and it will make you tear up when you see families heading for their deaths. And, yet it will make you angry all at the same time. It did for me.

    Solid Movie

    Dramatic, heart-wrenching, powerful story and acting. While parts of the movie can be difficult to watch there's an uplifting and spirited feeling as well.

    9.4 if anything

    I don't care what anybody else says. This was an outstanding movie and I started crying at the end! Thank you! It was also so inspiring that it led me to write my very first review for a movie, so attaboy. If I were to critique the film's whole then all I would say is the fighting could've been a little more up to par, but other than that I honestly loved the movie. I'm here mostly as a fan that enjoyed the entirety of both how the main character tricked me because I didn't recognize who the actor was until I seen the credits and how he blended in with the storyline and environment! Outstanding work. Glad to be here!!!

    • Trivia
      Piotr Glowacki reduced his weight from 78 kg to 60 kg for the role and was learning boxing for a year. He also participated in other physical activities during this year, so his body would resemble that of an ex-boxer in Auschwitz.
