Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

deannapoljan Thought this was excellent. Seeing Plummer and Landau working together is great, and while it was difficult to watch Dean Norris in such a role (loved him in Breaking Bad), this was extremely entertaining. I love films with a twist, and didn't see it coming. Very good.

naomimaggiora-486-361766 Just watched this on Amazon Prime. Had never heard of it before, but thankful to find it. As someone born right after the end of WWII, I have always been very interested in that history. This is a very emotional movie as Christopher Plummer gives a tour de force performance as a WWII survivor of Auschwitz living in a "senior living home" who has developed dementia which is exacerbated after his wife dies. Supporting roles, especially Martin Landau as a fellow "senior living home" resident and Auschwitz survivor, are well cast and acted. The movie takes its time building to the conclusion but the story and acting really pulled me in. I highly recommend.

qinbill It took me two attempt to finish the movie. The first time when I watch it, I stopped around 10 minutes. It is boring and depression to watch the first 1/3 of the movie. The movie starts to engaging your thinking when it reaches 1/2. My mind has been tripped into the movie and believe that story is about a men seeking vengeance for himself. But you never be able to believe what turns out to be.Think about this question: If a bad person can't remember his sin, is he still a bad?

sisilovesu I have. There are things that people tell me about my past I have no recollection of and can't believe I did. But when I remember, which I eventually do, it catches up to me despite if it is good or bad. This film explores dementia but makes it very relatable in such a specific way. When something really bad happens to me and I go to sleep, I wake up and forget it took place until I remember it and my life is once again a living nightmare. How do we cope with the things we have done and the things we will do? I would like to believe our mistakes don't define us, but they do. This movie is profound. I honestly feel as if I lived this long just to see it. I can't believe these actors were and are still acting at such an extremely high level when this was filmed because Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau give the most compelling performances ever. Look at yourself. Never forget the pain, the love and the choices you have made and inflicted on others. If we could only be so fortunate everyday to wake up and pick and choose the things we want to live with. That isn't how dementia works though. Speaking as someone who has had a very tough time dealing with the past and how it has affected the present and future, this is a movie you need to see. It's so much more than a Holocaust film because of the intensity about what it says about our past. I was taken out of my mind seeing this film. Give yourself perspective and find out not just how this film turns out, but also what you can remember. It was said in "Only the Brave", "What can you live with and what can you die without?" This film aptly answers that question. I am still trying to decide for myself.
