With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of medical drama and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Sits nicely alongside The Zone of Interest or The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 1 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
In a captured Ukrainian ghetto, circa 1941, Jewish town physician Anna Semyonovna dictates a final farewell letter to her son who is safe outside enemy lines, detailing the harrowing realities of the ghetto before her impending execution by the Nazis.
