Very well done. Delicately told story which has many levels. Many might review about how the film provides witness to the atrocities against the jews, and the ruthlessness with which it was executed; this certainly comes across. The more powerful aspect however is the audience bearing witness to the subliminal impact on the family especially the children, despite their cosy surrounds and 5 star lifestyle. At one end that impact was visibly and physically impacting the kids in subtle ways, and at the other end the wife numbed her mind to pretend it wasnt happening and all was well as she had a good life. Performances were exceptional.
A message to us all: humanity and morality pervade us all no matter which side you are on. Even the perpetrators have to live with the hell of overseeing or being on the side of misdeeds. There is no winner. Only losers. The children will grow up traumatised beyond repair, and those who played blind will remain miserable till their death; switching off your emotions doesnt bring peace.
