A FILM BY Agnieszka Holland
A FILM BY Agnieszka Holland
A grueling but unusual Holocaust survival story brought to life.
-Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
It is suspenseful, horrifying and at times intensely moving
-A.O. Scott, The NY Times
The suspense here derived from a true story, is excruciating and inspiring in equal measure.
-Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
Le suspense ici, dérivé d'une histoire vraie, est atroce et source d'inspiration dans une égale mesure.
-Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
