Edoardo S @RT80560229 Apr 6, 2026 It’s a shame that a story so interesting and compelling on paper wasn’t translated to the screen in the best way. The characters, although very well acted, feel underdeveloped and somewhat distant, making it hard to truly connect with them. In addition, the pacing of the narrative doesn’t effectively support the events, making the film less engaging than it could have been. See more

Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Jan 19, 2026 Gotta love a story about pushing for change against hopeless odds. Gleeson is a beacon of righteousness. Bruhl plays waking up well. See more

farah r @Farah Dec 30, 2022 Despite a couple of powerful performances by Gleason and Thompson, Alone in Berlin is a boring movie. See more

isla s @RT89656869 Sep 3, 2022 At first I thought this film was a little slow and thin on the ground, plot wise but when it became clear what the parents were doing, it has more substance to it and I quite liked the idea behind it. The dialogue is a bit muffled/quiet at times, which may cause issues but its certainly somewhat thoughtful. There's no doubt that to do what the parents did, would require a fair amount of determination and I thought the main performances from Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson were quite convincing. It features some good cinematography and I found it interesting how the authorities tried to track down the messages the parents were spreading. Once or twice I thought the music played in the background was perhaps a little over the top, a bit too much, slightly too loud maybe but I admit I can be a bit picky. Thematically speaking, this film reminded me a bit of The Book Thief. Not a bad film, this isn't an entirely memorable one and so it's not one I'd want to re-watch but its a pretty interesting film in terms of the themes and with a good cast, I would recommend it, yes.

Feb 27, 2022 Brilliant movie. Really showed how difficult it was during the war for some Germans. Based on a true story. See more
