Whilst it sounded intriguing, I don't think we really needed a film about the Nazis were horrible to black people too, even mixed race half German ones. I think the screenplay handles its various issues in a clunky way, and in its plot development at the end actually makes no sense. I found the way everyone speaks with a slightly German accent terribly distracting - what's wrong with the Death of Stalin / Chernobyl approach and leaving accents regional? So all in all I'm afraid it's a no from me, and as A United Kingdom was also a bit disappointing, it leaves Belle as the only decent film she's made. Not a great title, either.
We both kept thinking of JoJo Rabbit!
Amandla Stenberg, Abbie Cornish, George MacKay, Chris Ecclestone, Tom Goodman-Hill. The nice baker Will Attenborough is the grandson of Dickie and Sheila Sim.
MacKay has a funny kind of presence - a slightly nervy but distracted one.
