To me, this movie is perfection.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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

With Shortland's new movie Berlin Syndrome just out, I urge readers to see her previous effort, quite brilliant, grimly memorable, and cruelly under-watched.In general terms, there should be a 50-year moratorium on WWII movies, but every so often you get a Downfall or Son of Saul or Lore that completely breaks the mould.

As the Allies sweep across Germany, Lore leads her siblings on a journey that exposes them to the truth of their parents' beliefs. An encounter with a mysterious refugee forces Lore to rely on a person she has always been taught to hate. This movie caught me by surprise it was directed pretty nicely but also the performance of the leading girl Hannelore played by Saskia Rosendahl is amazing this is a movie in a time of war that truly shines for it's time but also shows how many people were out there that were the same as today trying to make love with a girl or use them in order to take one of the kids away. We never see the parents again but 100% they were executed i'm glad that the film ended on a high note but not everyone makes it on Grandma's house in the end Lore was an excellent movie that you should definitely see.

For me this was a moving story which was well told however it didn't condescend to the audience and assumed that we had a basic understanding of WW2 and its implications including some kind of empathy with the characters and how confusing and traumatic it would have been to go through what they did at that time.I appreciated the ambivalent feelings Lore had towards Thomas and really relished in those moments where their eyes met and there was such a mix of tension, resistance and desire. I really wanted there to be something between them and I believe Lore did too in the end but it was all too late. I think Thomas maybe blamed himself a bit for the death of Gunter. I don't know why he walked away from them but then I don't know if the Grandmother would have had him in her home in the end as she seemed like a bit of a hard bitch.Beautiful camera work and the soundtrack was perfect.

"The Bridge", "the Downfall" and "A woman in Berlin" can be put on the same line as this. The fall of the Third-Reich.Here we follow Lore, a daughter of an high ranking Officer in the German army. It starts of still in the Third-Reich. As the family runs from the allied, they are confronted by challenges. As they hear their leader die, the world around them crumbles.Its really a sad story. The children really don't know what just happened. As any other movie. 6 stars. But i find the view of the German suffering interesting. So i give 10 stars, because this one is underrated by critics.
