Movie Info

In October 1942, Esther Stermer, the matriarch of a Jewish family in the Ukraine, leads her family underground to hide from the pursuing Nazis - and stays nearly a year and a half. Their harrowing story of survival living in near total darkness in two cold, damp caves is one like no other ever told. It was life...like NO PLACE ON EARTH. (c) Magnolia

"No Place on Earth" is at its most moving when showing us, in close-up, the still-haunted faces of the cave dwellers, many of whom tell their stories to director Janet Tobias' camera.

The film is not without its flaws, but the story it tells is both terrifying and inspiring.

The producer's hand is heavy in No Place on Earth, but it ultimately can't sink the inspiring tale of endurance.

The movie is engaging but appallingly superficial when it considers the larger history of the Holocaust.

An extraordinary combination of documentary and dramatization...a Holocaust film that's also a modern detective story.

Perhaps too many reenactments, but nevertheless a moving tale of human endurance.

None of my formal quibbles is meant to make light of this heroic story. Indeed, some chronicle is better than no chronicle, but the past exists only in the retelling; how history is written is as important as the story itself.

It is joyous to see these people, then children, now old, in natural light, and it is extraordinary to see them return to the cave that sheltered them.

There's a great book there, but "No Place on Earth" director Janet Tobias chose to fill the gaps in the story with lengthy, indifferently acted "re-creations" that lead us to question how much of what we're seeing is true and how much is fictionalized.

There have been many films detailing horrific aspects of the Holocaust. "No Place On Earth" has a definite place in the ranks of the best.

The final piece of the documentary may be the most startling of all.

The Holocaust-survival documentary is almost a cliché at this point, but Janet Tobias' documentary provides yet another proof that there's a virtually infinite supply of such stories.
