Redundant and unnecessary.
Ensofter
Overrated and overhyped

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The difficult relationship between mother, daughter and granddaughter, hidden secrets, unspoken truths. The development of the story and the discomfort as the story unfolds, the brilliant portrayal of the characters and a roller coaster of (my) emotions. If you are devoid of emotion, you might not feel the impact of this great film but for all other mortals, it will leave you astounded. I'm so glad I saw this film, tricky as the subject actually turns out to be. 5 stars from me.

Polly Steele does a wonderful job of exploring the characters, their relationships with each other and the way each generation deals with the past and, without giving too much away, Helga's story gives a very different perspective of the impact of WWII.A well written, directed and shot film with an excellent soundtrack that almost becomes another character, and definitely worth seeing.
David Stevenson
Made you think a lot about how individual and family fortunes are forever impacted by involvement in major world events, when everyone else has moved on or forgotten. Very atmospheric locations and music. Left slightly curious about the role of other (male) family members who didn't feature - but maybe not that important to the main drama.
Andy Bamford
A thought provoking film that steadily absorbs you.The subject is hugely relevant in today's world. How crimes of the past impact the different generations, how the bonds of family can be stretched and yet brought back together. The characters are brilliantly cast. Loved the soundtrack which is a masterpiece in itself.
