Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

MartinHafer "The Last Days" is an exceptional film where five Hungarian Holocaust survivors tell their stories of their lives under the Nazis. Unlike other documentaries, these Jews did not experience any of this persecution until their country was annexed by the Germans in 1944. Their stories begin in 1944 and they recount the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps. Additionally, corroborating accounts from American soldiers and a German doctor working at Auschwitz were included as well as lots of archival photos and film. In many ways, this film is like going to a Holocaust center and listening to accounts of the survivors. Despite this film being very well made and quite moving, it's a case of preaching to the choir. In other words, those who are not insane or stupid and acknowledge that the Germans slaughtered millions will watch this film and appreciate it. Others probably won't watch it or else they'll dismiss the film as propaganda or an exaggeration or a conspiracy. Frankly, there isn't much you can do with this group. In the future, after successive generations have come and gone, this film will prove invaluable as a record of the Nazi horrors. But, since it only consists of five subjects, the film is naturally incomplete. Other films, such as "Shoah" and "Night and Fog" help to provide a more thorough story and are all worth seeing--but are also very draining. These are all exceptional films--just be sure you have some Kleenex handy as you watch.

evening1 I can't imagine ever forgetting the story of this film's survivor who held on to the diamonds her mother had sewn into her dress hem.What an incredible story of determination and will to survive.If I ever feel discouraged, scared, or worried, all I have to do is remember this unassuming woman's story.Like Steven Spielberg's other work involving the Holocaust, this film is a gift to humanity -- a work to help us remember to oppose evil and never, ever give up.The other survivors who appeared were moving as well -- the beautiful, articulate artist in Houston (who went on to give birth to a retarded daughter) and the late Rep. Tom Lantos. It's hard to imagine how personal accounts of one of mankind's darkest chapters could be delivered more powerfully! The filmmakers' enabling these survivors to revisit Auschwitz and their Hungarian hometowns was a stirring element.My only problem with this film was the almost total lack of information on how these survivors got through the day-to-day of their ordeals. Clearly, each was resilient. But practically nothing is said about what exactly kept each of them going under such abysmal circumstances.Still, this is a magnificently compelling work.

wendy My life changed after my visit to Auschwitz . I had been to Dachau in college, but it didn't affect me the way Auschwitz/ Birkenau had. Perhaps because most of it had been leveled or it could have been the 2 American soldiers who kept trying to video tape me (sigh). For anyone who has any interest in the Holocaust, a trip to Auschwitz with the guided tour is essential. The movie did an excellent job of weaving together five survivors stories. On the DVD that we got from Netflix, the music was uncomfortably loud to the point of not being able to hear what the survivors were saying. Hopefully, this is just a bum copy and in other screenings the music does not overpower the talking.I applaud the folks who made this film and especially the survivors who were able to share such deep emotion even in front of a film crew.Thank you.

Michael Fleischhacker "The Last Days" is not only one of the best Holocaust documentaries ever, but one of the best films I have ever seen which deals with the Holocaust. The film makes a much stronger emotional impact than even "Schindler's List." The actual testimony of survivors is more gripping than any image that even Spielberg can think up.
