Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Aleesha Hotea The Return to the Hiding Place is not mere entertainment. It is a film that seems to reach across the decades to our time and issue the same challenging question that its characters faced: What would you risk to defend the truth and the innocent? The way this question is answered by the members of the Polish Resistance and what it brings about is sobering, inspiring and something not easily forgotten. The film is based on historical facts, not someone's invented story, and I believe this is where the films impact mainly lies. These people, their choices, and the time the lived in, were real. This film reminds us that each generation has choices to make, for good or for evil, and the consequences are not small. As far as film quality, the main actors are well chosen and very convincing, the visual quality is superb and although the film is long it keeps your attention. Personally I think the film's music could be improved a little, for example some deep bass tones missing in places where it could've been useful and make the scene more vivid and deep. Overall, I highly recommend The Return to The Hiding Place and I really wish they'd release it in theaters so I could take all of my friends to see it!
Bethanial 777 I was fortunate enough to have seen this excellent film recently at the San Antonio Film Festival where it overwhelmingly took "Best Feature Film" and "Audience Choice Award". The cinematography and acting were the best I have seen in this type of genre. "Return to the Hiding Place" is a truly uplifting, historical film depicting young people who put themselves in harm's way to help others. I enjoyed the dramatic story line, the sprinkles of humor, but most of all the constant refreshing theme of hope. I understand that scenes in this film were actually shot in The Netherlands at the Corrie ten Boom Museum which contributed to the film's authenticity. I highly recommend this film.
hjdingemanse Beside the bad acting I noticed a fatal error. While Hans is riding on his bike through the city of Harlem. You can see modern cars beside the canal and a at a parking lot. Also you see a modern police logo on a sign. It suppose to be 1940-1945 how you can leave these cars in?? This is so stupid. Man, man, there was no editing at all i suppose. Really amateur. Beside this fatal error there were more non-realistic happenings. clothes, a note given by another inmate to leave a concentration camp. Modern Windmills in the background while viewing the city. Very bad acting. This is a really a non realistic movie. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. What a shame.. A waste of time.
ReAnn Ring I highly recommend this to everyone, especially for our youth to partake and see the supreme true story example, of what it is to stand for something for a vastly larger purpose beyond themselves. Corrie ten Boom's story is one in a million. Nearly every life that has been touched by the 1975, "The Hiding Place" and it's stunning reality of the message of forgiveness worked into the framework of the plot of her rare and untouchable example, causes the viewer to thirst for more information on this dreaded and difficult time in history of WWII. When I learned that Return to the Hiding Place, sequel to her story, was to be released, it was a delight to know that more of the story was to be revealed concerning the underground work of Holocaust and the resistance to the German Occupation. To see the details of work of her "youth army" led by Hans Poley and Piet Hartog , young and brave men they were, gives this film a position that would challenge any youth of today to question their own maturity level, compelling a natural introspection to do something for a greater purpose and cause. Only a masterfully executed direction and production by the Spencer Team could pull this off in this beautiful and rich example of what few may know took place with the younger generation of the 1940s. With the reality of Human Trafficking and Bullying that Hitler was notorious for inciting, no one can argue with ANY merit that this work in time wouldn't touch the viewer and place into the mind a self evaluation, for a life impacting "take away". Dr. Spencer worked DIRECTLY with Hans Poley and heard the story first hand, working diligently to preserve the miraculous details of the truth of what actually took place. Nothing can quite measure against the passion behind "why" this film was created, and completed for an eternal purpose. Acting, location shots, editing, and final product are par exellence.
