jasonhurwitz's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

This movie, which takes place in Holocaust-era France and I believe is based off of events from the life of either the author or the director, was quite good. The acting was fine, with the best performances luckily given by the two main kids. The story is very slow; in fact, the movie is almost entirely character development, with next to no action; however, it is a good movie, and the ending is powerful, though totally — and sadly — predictable. It’s a good movie to watch if you’re looking for another Holocaust story.

**This movie is subtitled

Acting - Great 4.0

Film - Really Great 4.5

This movie won MAJOR points with me because it did what most movies don’t — it lined the track music up with the violinist who was ACTUALLY PLAYING IT. Oh my gosh! That never happens, but in this movie IT DID!! I could watch the violinist in the movie and the music was totally synced with his playing.

Edge - Risqué 1.7

Reality - Natural 1.0

  Regarding hurwizzle’s Review
  Thanks for posting a first review of Au Revoir Les Enfants, Hurwizzle. I saw this movie when it came out and its resonance stays with me to this day. As it happens, it’s 3rd in my Netflix queue right now because I wanted to honor it with a WikPik review. Now I can relax ‘cause you’ve filled the gap.
