Kiwi B. @Loafofbread Feb 24, 2026 The start of the film was barely even remotely close to the book and that really makes me angry kinda crazy how they couldn't even get the names right some major characters do not even exist. See more Rick M @RT28141542 Jan 3, 2024 Very dark but very powerful depiction of the holocaust at a personal level. Never forget !!!!!!!!!!!! May the nazis burn in hell forever. See more Jun 7, 2021 Terrible made-for-TV movie that does a terrible job showing the events of the Holocaust. See more May 24, 2021 No one in this movie can act convincingly enough. I felt more than in Sophie's Choice though. But not enough to recommend it without tainting my reputation. Like Germans speaking English just takes you out of the flow. It started off good though. Like I hated her at the beginning all set for a redemption story as intended. But the cutting all their hair half ass as if they actually were at a professional hair dresser. The way she petted the ground with the pickaxe. They got blankets to go outside so they don't feel cold. The jews can just talk back without being shot right at the spot. The officer lets himself get spit in the face and gives him a rather quick death. And at the end, the aunt is super chill and Hannah shows no signs of being traumatized or going crazy after that experience. Just not at all convincing, I'm sorry. See more Jan 28, 2021 Very accurate portrayal of the Holocaust. Historically informative with great acting! See more Apr 25, 2020 i read the book and couldn't wait to buy the movie. i think the movie was terrific. fortunately for viewers it did not show the true book, otherwise younger viewers may have been upset. The movie basically followers the book, a young american teenager denying her past, and bored by it. transported back to 1941 (1942 in the book) she lives through the holocaust. the movie is believable, watchable and entertaining. she loves her aunt eva, who would not explain many aspects of her and her brother's involvement in the war, through her magical journey she participates, and learns and lives through exactly want happened, and actually swaps places with Rivka, at the end and saves her life. that is why she was named for her friend. a terrific movie.
