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.

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.
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.
I'm so so disappointed about the reaction of many people here voting for this movie to have a result of 5.5/10... not about the filming, not about the actors or the make-up but before all of that thinks everybody need to know this kind of story wasn't fiction. We can't treat this movie like a science fiction movie or something "distracting" because it had happen 70 years ago, it was real, so many people had suffering that way. We need to remember to make that thinks never happen again. That movie need to be show on schools to teach how fascism work and show how point basic racism is stupid
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

- TriviaEpilogue 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."
- GoofsThere 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.
