Reviews
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Pro Jury *** May contain spoilers. *** A Jew escaping Germany and there is no sense of danger. No suspense. No drama. Very little to impress. Because most every moment is presented as if a Broadway stage play with low realism, it is difficult to take this movie all that seriously. Hats are thrown knowing that a stage hand will gather it for the next take. An undocumented war refugee enters deep into a private home without bothering to wait for the home owner to answer the door. People stand up together instantly in the middle of a song as if rehearsed. Fireworks and a large crowd comes quickly from nowhere for a surprise party. There must be better movies out there covering the same subject matter.
caspian1978 The Truce is a great movie. Even if this is not your type of movie that you would want to see, the story in itself is terrific. The story of post-holocaust, the close of the 2nd World War in Europe and the prime of Stalin in command is the setting of the movie. The actors bring out the greatness of the story with their colorful and realistic characters. This story, of a kind of Italian band of brothers, trying to get back home is the plot to one of the best movies dealing with redemption in 1945 Europe. Agnieszka Wagner is down right stunning. Although she plays a simple role, it is moments like these, with her on camera that make the movie good. The entire movie is packed with moments of laughter, horror, sweetness and truth. The Truce is a forgotten classic of its genre.
cdvoice415 A wonderful movie about the concentration camp prisoner's lives after war2. A story about how can a men became himself after his soul was crush by the torture in the concentration camp . It's powerful ,moving and touching!
George Parker "The Truce" chronicles the homeward bound odyssey of an Auschwicz survivor - Primo played by Turturro - in the chaos immediately following the fall of the Third Reich. Although Primo, an Italian Jew, is the central character, the camera spends more time on the people, places, and vicissitudes which he encounters on his journey from Krakow to Turin. This beautifully shot, somber film with an abundance of extras and a minimal core cast has no specific focus. The interest in this film is in the story and the story is in the telling. A very worthy cinematic endeavor.
