Absolute Master Piece! A story I never knew about the life saving mime. Jesse did an amazing job playing the part of Marcel Marceau, a world class mime who before becoming a famous mime saved the lives of Jewish children during the Nazi regime. Cinematography was A grade and so was the story!

Incredible, under-told, hope filled WWII story, extraordinary person with big shoes to fill as roles go so played well by Jessie and at times was liking looking at Marcel himself. The film does justice sharing insights into a rare persons life.

What a great acting ensemble where its not just the most known actor that made this great to watch. Even fritz with his flushed alcoholic complexion was a fine specific touch.
