I have always been inquisitive about the WW2 and the Holocaust in particular. I have read few books and watched few movies such the The Reader, The Pianist, Schindler's List, etc but no documentary touches the moral question of Holocaust better like this documentary. Is he guilty or is he not? Was he the real Ivan the Terrible or was it the case of mistaken identity?

The interviews with the central players were fantastic. The lawyers, family members, and the witnesses gave their sides without fear. They gave their honest insights into the case. This trial contrasted so vividly with what the evil Nazi guards did to the prisoners. While it took less than two hours for the prisoners to go from arriving by trains to their death in the death factory, it took two trials in two different countries and over two decades to bring justice to Demnyanyuk.

I strongly recommend this documentary to all.

If the movie producer had spent an extra $20 million, I bet this movie would have been worth watching. With another writer and director this movie could have become a real thriller instead of a half baked comedy. Yes, that's what this movie was, a comedy.

A nice family of four on their way to Phoenix somehow ended up in the middle of nowhere and somehow got crossed up with a drug war. There were a lot of non sensical plots that you just can't help but curse the writer and director. It could have been another version of No Country for Old Men but no, they chose to be light on the substance. What should have been a matter of life and death was instead turned into laughing matters.

This movie is bad and I wish I could get back my 80 minutes.

I have just watched one of the most emotionally and morally intriguing movies in all my 50 year history of movie watching. This movie is more than just right up there with The Pianist and The Schindler's List. Watch it, just watch it.

I can imagine Holocaust being a difficult topic for the Germans and Jews. This movie looks at the side of the person on the other side of the death camp. The nuance story line compels you to think with her, not just about her. The great thing is that the director did not conclude the movie for the viewers. The viewers shall decide what constitutes morality and what law is.

The acting was great. Kate Winslet gave her Oscar-deserved performance. This movie will linger in my mind for a long long time.
