A good thriller

I could say I liked everything about the production part, starting from the atmosphere, the scene, the place where the movie took place, it all looked beautiful and yet dark, and mysterious at the same time.

I have to mention the actors, which all did a great job too, nobody felt out of place, except for the main antagonist, maybe, but that could be just my own preference, as I would've seen him grimmer and shadier for the purpose of the movie.

And of course, the main thing about the movie - the story. It's a movie about a buried past, but not the exact past that you would expect in a usual thriller about murder. This one is massive, concerning on a global scale and serves a good reminder that monsters live among us.

The ending makes the movie great. Don't want to spoil it, so won't be going into details, but I loved how it was realistic and thoughtful. You know, lies constantly require more lies to keep them floating, and people will never stop getting hurt until these lies stop.

Thanks for a good movie!

Very good

The movie was exceedingly well made, acted and directed. The locations in the forests of Bavaria were gorgeous. Lead actress Henriette Confurius did a fine job and was quite believable as was the rest of the cast. It's hard to fathom that this was director Saralisa Volm's maiden voyage at the helm of a full length motion picture. Her previous credits were one short clocking in at a mere 7 minutes and two music videos totalling a whopping 8 minutes! She does have a handful of acting credits but to go from such limited experience to directing a 100 minute feature like this is pretty stunning. She did a great job but one wonders just who she knows to be handed this project with such scant experience! I'd also say that I'm sorry that 77 years after the end of WWII we're still dredging up and in some cases inventing atrocities that paint the German people in a bad light. It's time to find a new scapegoat. Germany has paid the price over and over and this account needs to be closed.
