GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

jc-osms I found this film almost as difficult to review as I did to watch. I guess many of us might fail to imagine the horrors of trying to survive Auschwitz on a minute by minute never mind hourly or daily basis but this film puts you almost literally on the shoulders of one man in the camp as the camera only rarely changes perspective from his subjective viewpoint to a more objective position so that you see what he sees and experience what he experiences. Immediately you sense the dehumanization of the individual as with him and his specially chosen fit and able fellow POW's he performs the task of removing, burning and disposing of the remains of the hundreds of daily gas victims there. When he sees a young boy somehow survive the gassing only to be even more cruelly murdered by suffocation by the German doctor on the scene, he impulsively decides to take the boy's dead body and have it consecrated by a rabbi.Along the way he gets involved in a mass escape attempt by his fellow inmates but even then carries the boy's corpse with him as he moves. As I said, the movie was excruciating to watch at tine. Think of all the famous (or infamous) cultural or artistic depictions of hell by the likes of Dante, Hyronemus Bosch Picasso, Goya and others.

romiox2000 i usually like Jew movies and i find them touching the holocaust stories out there are great and there is so much emotions in them but this one no sir i don't think so the first half hour is boring that you would probably leave the cinema and choose not to suffer through the rest of the movie but i somehow managed to keep watching and either its a bad ending or good ending it doesn't matter the movie sucks and it does not deserve an Oscar for sure so it is also the worst Oscar winning or nominated movie of the year 2016 and i have seen most of them.

spaf-787-833583 Never reviewed a film before , don't care about my spelling don't care about the ,s and the .s , just watched the film and felt the need to write something . Rated the film 6 , wanted to give it 7 or 8 for the first 30 minutes of the film , but slowly started to get annoyed. Hate the Jewish propaganda of religious importance . F.ck the religion , not only Jewish but Christian , Muslim and all the rest. Hated the importance of a religious tradition to bury a body of a boy , over the importance to save lives. Don't make a film about the few that chose to obey , the few that chose their life over hundreds of others !!!!!!!!!!! .F.ck this film and its maker . Make a film about the people that were brave enough to give their lives to safe others , others lives not just bodies because of their religious believes !!! . Started writing this with a rate of 6 for this film , finished with a rate of 4 . I understand that this is factual , and probably needs to be said and past on . First review that i find when i google this film is ' an outstanding, excoriating look at evil in Auschwitz ... This astonishing debut film, about a prisoner in the concentration camp employed in the industrial processes of body disposal, is a horror movie of extraordinary focus and courage' , my opinion , detailed look at the ill and bent by religion mind that's at the end of it sanity . Chooses the burial of a body over the lives of fellow living people. Courage ???!?!?!? Wheres the f.c king courage ? , insanity all the way !!! . During WW2 courage meant death !! and the word courage should be reserved for the people that lost their lives saving others or trying to end the tragedy of ww2 and the German invasion. The so called courage of Saul caused more death . People around tried to survive , realising that there is no mother f ucking GOD !!!! and even if there is one , hes a f cking pr.ck , allowing this to happen . He was so courageous , that he didn't risk his life for his sons life but he risked his life and lives of others for his sons body . Film about surrender , the less we get of this sort the better we will be . Thank You

Carlos Solis Vega As the title says, do not fall for the apparently high rating of this movie.I'm sorry to say it but this movie is boring from the beginning to the end, and I'm not talking about art or cinema techniques or whatever, I am just giving my opinion on what the movie meant for me.The story makes no sense at all since the task Saul is performing doesn't correspond to the human nature. Who in a similar situation would prevail the correct disposal of a dead body over his/her own survival? Nobody, that is simple.Another kind of "annoying" detail is the visual perspective of the movie, it is uncomfortable to follow the story in that way because almost everything (except the main character) is out of focus.I wouldn't recommend to watch it.
