Reviews for The Optimists
This is the rare Holocaust documentary that ends on an optimistic note, and Comforty's film might even help reinforce one's faith in humankind, even as it begs the troubling question of why such courage and resistance was in short supply.
It's a rare documentary about the Holocaust that would dare call itself The Optimists, but the title is oddly fitting for this chronicle of the Bulgarian Jews' near-miraculous survival of the Second World War.
Questionable as a theory of history, but as a human sentiment, it's touching to behold.
