    Well I enjoyed it anyway.

    Why it has such a low score I do not know, I found it rivetting and very sad in parts to watch, but would say to anyone watch it, you will not be disappointed.

    Hands Down a good film

    Way better than its current 5.9 rating

    Interesting drama about a subject matter that I was not aware of.

    Lovely performances by Amandla and Abbie Cornish, ably supported by MacKay.

    An Eternal Gem - Where Hands Touch

    I have seen every Holocaust film ever made of any note. Schindler's List is very good; as was Seven Beauties by Wertmuller. I thought Life is Beautiful was overrated. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was far superior to Life is Beautiful. Most Holocaust films are very powerful, but a few are stereotypical. After Sophie's Choice, which I thought was the most powerful of all Holocaust films, I had a tendency to avoid reviewing any more of them. Then this film came along, and became the best Holocaust film of all time; every bit the equal of Schindler's List. This is due mostly to the performance of the outstanding young actress, Amandia Stenberg, who overwhelms the screen in every scene she is in. She will be a talent to be reckoned with for decades to come. Why some idiots are rating this film below a 7 is beyond my comprehension, although there are a lot more stupid people in the world than there are knowledgeable ones; so that might be an explanation. Be part of the world that isn't stupid, and view this film as soon as you can; you will not be disappointed.

    Fascism and love

    I don't think the movie deserves the worst reviews it got on here. It delivered an accurate depiction of the ruthlessness of fascism, which I am unfortunately familiar with, and of love between two young people. The acting was good to brilliant in my opinion. There were some scenes that were a little too long or not exactly necessary and I can't tell if the script fits the reality of those days a hundred percent but overall, it was a good watch.

    Heartbreaking

    This movie was so very sad. I'm sure there were many stories like this during that time period in Germany. I cannot not digest man's inhumanity to man no matter what religion or race the are. So very disturbing. In my opinion this was a very well acted movie. The ending! Bittersweet. I don't understand how anybody could give it a bad review. I believe,actually that this should have been shown on the big screen. It would have done well

    • Trivia
      Epilogue accompanying photographs from World War II: "Approximately 25,000 Black Germans existed under the Third Reich, including Rhineland children. Some perished in the camp system and others survived to be liberated in 1945. Together with those teens who escaped sterilisation, the survivors defied Hitler's vision of a future Germany without Black Germans."
    • Goofs
      There were few male "overseers" in the "women's camp". Virtually all of the Germans who interacted with the prisoners in the women's camps were females, and on the whole, female guards were notorious for being more sadistic than the male guards.
