So it finally happened. I met my Nemesis. This film completely and utterly wrenched every emotion imaginable from me and left me gutted, sad, hopeful and amazed. And I cried and that is something I just don't do.
I guess anyone that has seen this film will agree with me that going in blind is the only way to fully appreciate the full extent of what director Kuenne has created here. Rationally, purely on a cinematic level, this film is astounding as it is. It is edited, narrated and structured perfectly. It manages to slowly suck you in and unfolds its story and eventual sentiment…
those grandparents are so brave and i really hope they're okay

I am broken.
hope shirley turner is having a terrible time in hell with hitler & the guy who invented capitalism
an incredible story, of course, but... without sounding too callous or cold... not especially well told? i can only imagine the impact this film might have had if it weren't so focused on making one.
People talk about films "packing an emotional punch", but never before has a movie made me actually feel physical pain from its emotional content.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Dear Kathleen and David,
I can only imagine the pain that you must have felt. Your son was your world and he was taken away from you. Not by nature, but by fate and hate. Your souls would have been shattered. Your World must have come crashing upon you. But with pain comes God’s gift. It was like Paradise Regained. You had a chance to see your son in a different human being. A cute little new born can do miracles to a scarred soul. I know it would have felt like heaven after all the excruciating pain that you both had gone through. But then, that also was not to last. Heaven became hell in one single fateful day.…
it's truly unfair that one of the single most ferocious pieces of filmmaking i've ever seen in my goddamn life is also one of the saddest, most genuine & disturbing. stunned.
The single most devastating thing I have ever seen. Made me want to be a better man. I am in awe still.
