It really was that bad.
Other reviews have the basic plot pretty well defined. Her mother and father assist Jews out of Nazi Germany until they themselves are found out. Their last act was to help their daughter to escape the hands of the Nazis. Perhaps there is some validity to this story but I see nothing online that lends to this being an actual account. Thank goodness because the movie is just so unbelievably bad.
It's not the cinematography that is so horrifically bad; it is the entire story line. It is absolutely inconceivable that this young girl survives with or without any skills in a magically hidden forest in Germany during the Nazi regime. Yet somehow she does.
We are to believe that she is 12ish, based on costume, in the beginning and at the end of 3 years alone has come to resemble Xena Warrior princess who hunts with a stick. And, a very well fed Xena. I found that to be appalling to the point of insulting.
Don't usually write reviews, but in this case, it was necessary. Bad, bad, bad movie.
