Ratings and reviews

Very disappointed by this and can't work out why it has received so much adulation. It plods along at a snail's pace and isn't even remotely moving. I struggled to remain awake, even though it only ran to 80 minutes!

Certainly not the best Polish film, actually nowhere near the best ones! I think the only reason it won the Oscar is because it's about Jews. Very disappointing.

Beautifully shot with great storyline. And to all those who give it poor rating because it doesn't reflect history - well, it is not meant to do any of that! It's A story,not a History! Simples
