It is a performances centric movie

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is the same story my grandmother went through and it's heartbreaking. I never managed to speak to my grandmother about the holocaust so it's nice to see this short film.

Well it was a charming little short film about a Holocaust survivor telling a simplistic version of a his story. I understand this was made for children, but World War 2 is so much more of an immensely complicated subject to just describe 19 minutes. Leaving the film putting a over-simplified stamp on this film saying Hitler wanted to kill Jews and nothing more, nothing about the surrounding geopolitics involved. And since the people narrating area 10 year old child and victims of WW2, I feel like we get their opinion on what happened and not a scholars objective explanation.But as I said, this was made for children, so obviously it will be simplistic. No history buff should come here looking for detailed analysis of World War 2, what they will enjoy a quaint little story told from the perspective of a young boy and a charismatic old man. Children this young can't fully grasp the immensely complicated issue of the deadliest war in human history, its normally something reserved for middle school or high school. Personally I wouldn't have my children watch this because I wouldn't want them to think such an immense issue was so simple, but it is always great to see kids interested in history, so I applaud the children involved in this.I'd say I would recommend it, not if your looking for something detailed though.
