Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
finebeanies If you like to be immersed in what it was like living under the communist regime of Czechoslovakia, then this movie offers an excellent view into a life of one family. A boy whose father was executed for spying is brought up by his grandfather. He faces ostracism by those around him who are worried about their association with the family. The grandfather never wavers from his moral principles and his values become firmly implanted in the grandson. He also faces adversity with courage of a person who will not bend for the ones in power to get ahead. There are many comic scenes where the ridiculous contrasts of characters serving the regime are exposed. The movie is well done, great acting and a thoughtful treatment of the atmosphere in the dark days of communism.Highly recommend.
