This doc is very interesting but needs more minutes for a very important story like this.

This documentary is very hard to watch. Not only for the story of an evil man, but for the bad work behind the film.

The story has to be told, but not at this way.

Everything in this film is annoying. Not a single name on the interviewed persons. You have to guess who those people is.

When the letters from the daughter Elisabeth is spoken out loud, it is with the most annoying voice, like It's read out by a retarded person. Why? Why can't she sound like a normal person with knowledge?

And there is no in-dept description of the man what so ever.

Maybe some day, the story will be told in a good and understandable way, to enlighten us all. This day is not here yet.

Just a very poorly made documentary. This film not only manages to avoid answering every question the audience might have, it also manages to avoid having any interesting insight on this case.

Wouldn't recommend it, go read an article about it instead.

Interviews with family members, doctors and victims of 73-year-old Josef Fritzl, who held his daughter captive in a basement for 24 years and fathered seven children with her.

We often think the worst crime is murder, which would make serial killers the ultimate in evil. But this documentary shows us that we are wrong. Even if Fritzl never killed anyone (though it seems he did at least once), he is the worst kind of monster. A rapist, a kidnapper, someone capable of the worst kind of incest.

If this has not yet been turned into a movie, it will be. A fuller documentary might also be nice. This one is excellent, but it seems that there is still more to the story out there.

we occasionally find interesting plots of German movies, even low- budget. some of the main characters justify themselves in the context of the contemporary Germany. The plot is interesting but the sequence of events is a bit confusing. Occasionally in Germany these things happen but not often. The Germans are a great people. Certainly worth watching but writing a reviewing is more difficult when you write it at 5am. With time I believe this movie will grow in stature. Well worth the accolades. Consistently, this movie does not attract the claim that it justifies. Well done to all concerned. Wonderful plot which develops in crescendo as time passes. In this type of genre it can't be beaten
