More of a theater play than a movie

Every aspect of this so-called movie screams of a theatrical performance. Even the way the actors "act", quite unnaturally, just slightly emphasizing emotions and facial movements a tiny bit too much, too continuously, just like during a live play, on stage, because the audience is far away, and not all of them have binocular.... Except maybe for the old Nazi guy who sounded and looked somehow a lot more real and believable to me than the two women.

That being said, the script is quite fine and holds its own, even if quite predictable, not the ending, but the underlying predicament.

All in all, it's a nice little theatre piece. Worth watching, in my opinion.
