NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Richmond Sim I would like to commend the producers for creating a film with unique concept incomparable to other war movies, because instead of tackling the rampant theme of war, they tackled the post-war situation.First, in criticizing this film, we don't actually have to deal much about the screen portrayals because the movie does not include heavy drama. However, even if it does not, we still have to appreciate the fact that the actors and actresses really did well in portraying and none of them were over acting. Although, we cannot disavow as well, that there were some who were under acting.Second, I love the fact that the producers did not frontline script to make a beautiful movie. They made it as realistic as it could be, for it seemed more natural than others.Third, The musical scoring is on average, but one thing that really depressed me is the playing of violin by one of the prisoners that wasn't synchronized with the video.Fourth, I was expecting something more on what I can see on the screen -- something like extreme panning of cameras to switch scenes or some amazing CGIs to depict extreme cruelty -- but then everything seemed to be mainstream.Fifth, the video quality was good. It was not that dark so that we can clearly see what's happening on screen. It was not that light neither that gives a hinge of some historic feeling.Lastly, The whole 113 minutes was dull. The only variations were the few sexualities which were obviously done to attract and catch viewers. They may use "It's a true story" as an excuse for having no pinnacle scenes other than the sexualities, but I believe it could have been better if they used some cliffhangers to retain, for at least, the interest of the viewers.Overall, I'd give it a rating of 7 out of 10.

dbborroughs Not long after the end of the Second World War German POWs are brought to a Russian camp that is run by women. The women are suppose to weed out the officers. How the two groups eventually come together and some find love, is the story. Okay film is the sort of thing that in entertaining while its on, but if it didn't have a small role for John Malkovich probably wouldn't have found any sort of wide spread release. This isn't to say that the film isn't worth your time, it is if you think your inclined to the subject matter, but at the same time I don't think this is going to be something you remember. Here I am several hours after seeing it and the only two things I remember about it was, it wasn't bad and that maybe it was a bit too long. Your reaction maybe different.

echosheng90731 Excellent movie. Amazing performance by Thomas Kretschmann (as always). It's hard to see this gorgeous man dressed in drags and looks like hell half of the movie. The love scene of him with the nurse is so touching. The whole movie is a chilling and depressing experience until towards the last 30 minutes of the film. The only part that puzzles me is that after the "party" organized by the kind-hearted Jew, why were those Russian women so enthralled with the German POW's? Just after one or two dances? The pain and suffering of the war all thrown out of the window? Or, it's because so many Russian men had been killed that these women were simply man-hungry? It's a great movie in the same class of "the Pianist", go watch it!

NateWatchesCoolMovies In Tranzit is a very well acted movie with a story built on character and emotion surrounding the aftermath of World War 2, rather tha just the cataclysmic large scale political effects of it. Vera Farmiga is fantastic as the Chief Medical Doctor of a post war POW camp run by women, who are supervised by the mean, sleazy, sadistic General Pavlov (John Malkovich, at his venomous best!). The man who played Farmiga's mute, shell shocked husband was also excellent. The best performance in the film however is Thomas Kretschmann, a severely underrated actor who is subtle and riveting as a German POW who falls in love with the Doctor.Overall a great movie. 8/10
