Stephen C @bob25009 May 13 Rated R for Some Graphic Nudity, and Disturbing Violent Content. I love a mix of Drama and History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more r96 s @RT00952237 04/16/2025 'Son of Saul' is as upsetting and unimaginable as you would anticipate a film about the Holocaust would be. It is quite unique in terms of its story and how it's portrayed. It's interesting to learn about the Sonderkommandos, a term I somehow wasn't overly familiar with to be honest. Géza Röhrig is outstanding in the leading role, one that requires some big acting chops given the character doesn't speak too often. How crazy that he, so I read, hadn't acted in film for a few decades up until this. The only thing more surprising is that this is director László Nemes' directorial debut!

While the themes are intense and thought providing, I would not recommend this unless you are a fan of long closeups.

É o tipo de filme que eu nunca mais vou assistir novamente, mas a imersiva experiência visual valeu uma visita. See more Margaret T @Margaret47 02/27/2025 A masterpiece. The treatment Sonderkommando have received in the decades since the war is disgraceful. I hope this helps with their long overdue vindication. See more Alec B @Alec97 12/13/2023 One of the few films about the Holocaust that's willing to be an unrelenting nightmare. I'm not sure if I could ever revisit it but I respect that the filmmakers never compromise on their bleak, pessimistic narrative. See more Read all reviews
