It's a classic tale, told by director Giulio Ricciarelli with a fine eye for period detail and a welcome air of restraint.

Fehling does a fine job as Radmann, who also carries a heavy weight, as a cypher for all the Germans who did not want to know what their fathers did in the war.

Such a subject deserves a more rigorous treatment.
March 25, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
An emotionally affecting and illuminating piece that is beautiful as well as edifying.
November 5, 2015 | Full Review… -
What should have been a fairly direct look at a culture hiding from itself becomes an overdone, angst-everywhere exercise.
October 30, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review… -
The movie reveals so many secrets and twists that it threatens to dilute its message. When a visit to Auschwitz becomes little more than an appreciation of a pretty meadow, the script flirts with banality.
