My Neighbor Adolf

"My Neighbor Adolf" seems quite refined in its treatment of the subject of Hitler's possible escape to Argentine , or having doubles across the world,, Feels to me this film unfolds like an earnest, low-rent "Rear Window," which is more psychological than suspense-driven in nature, which is admirable, if disappointing in the end. Instead of escalating to a dramatic and potentially violent confrontation, this film seeks to offer its protagonists some respite from the trauma each has experienced - to bury the past, and that's never an easy thing to do, if not outright impossible as this movie clearly demonstrates to us.

Light comedy, well paced, cleverly scripted , difficult balance , albeit cleverly written narrative worth every second of an open minded viewers time.

As mentioned by others, ignore the so called professional reviewers , their salaries are controlled by their bosses ,!

Great under stated acting, no real tension, only gentle tense moments and thoughtful characterisations. The ending or finale, is also handled with lots of thoughtfulness and tact. Unique idea, even possible reality , this could have been a true story, albeit not, followed on from the private investigators in the TV documentary .......

In the quirky "My Neighbor Adolf" David Hayman's a Holocaust survivor who after losing his entire family in the camps 30yrs prior lives in rural South American seclusion... 'til right next door, into the only other house nearby, moves Udo Keir - who Hayman grows to suspect is Adolf Hitler (despite local Israeli intelligence officer skepticism). As Hayman reluctantly gets closer to Keir to gather evidence against him, so the two forge an uneasy but interesting relationship. Is Keir Hitler tho? And where may it all be heading? Props to Hayman, Keir and co-writer (with Dmitry Malinsky) / director Leon Prudovsky on what is a gently dark yet touching lil' human dramedy.

The movie "My Neighbor Adolf" is a comedy-drama that follows the story of a Holocaust survivor who believes his neighbor is Hitler and embarks on a mission to collect evidence to support his theory. Despite the heavy subject matter of the Holocaust and World War II, the movie manages to maintain a light tone. However, it falls short in terms of depth, direction, and script. While the plot has some originality, director Leon Prudovsky's inexperience may have contributed to the movie's lack of coherence.

David Hayman as the Polish character Mr. Polsky, and Udo Kier, as the German character Mr. Herzog, deliver very good performances in spite of the film's direction.

....as the banshees of of Inisherin although it isnt quite as good. The story is simple and well written and executed and the subject matter is treated with taste and respect. There is humour and sadness and the acting is superb and flawless. I have seen many professional critics seem to dislike it and I really cannot think why, nor do they really give their reasons in their reviews. I loved it. The 90 odd minutes flew over. I really think this is going to be one of those where you are betting off trusting the publics opinion as I get the feeling the critics tend to band together as they are afraid to go against the grain for fear of looking silly. Give it a go, it is well worth your time.
