Movie Reviews of The Grey Zone
Movie Review: Chilling & Heart-rending -- a must!
Summary: 5 Stars
If we do not know and understand history -- history will truly repeat itself.This movie is harsh -- even to those who are familiar with the events and atrocities of the Holocaust.
The systematic murder of the Jewish race -- and other (non-Aryan) people is hard to imagine, and yet, it is part of our 20th century history. It has reoccurred in smaller forms in other countries (Cambodia & Iraq,to name just two), but the more we know, the more we can fight against this horrible type of brutality.
Hatred is born of ignorance, fear and a lack of empathy. We are all human, and when each of us bleeds, the color of our blood is red. Let this movie stir you, trouble you and cause your heart pain -- for it will move you to speak out against any word, thought or deed that results in this type of inhuman behavior.
Movie Review: The Grey Zone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film for those who seek reality without discounting the blackest realities imaginable. Based on a true story, this film takes you inside Aushwitz and lets you know heroes and others personally. It gives you a reality I would certainly have never imagined, even though I have worked with torture survivors from around the globe for several years. I originally saw the film in IFC and immediately purchased it for my very limited DVD collection. My collection does also offer comedies, etc., and movies like, "Truman." But this movie is real and moving and unforgettable, and a part of history that must never be forgotten. I feel it is very important, regardless of some misgivings that it is an absolutely non-fictional tale. The author was really there; I believe he did his best to show us the story he lived.Movie Review: Difficult to watch
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very disturbing tale based on true events, which makes it even harder to stomach, but it is an important reminder of how horrible the death camps were. May history never repeat itself in this case. The dark story of the holocaust and events at Auschwitz are even darker when considering that there were some willing to betray their own people in the hope that they might survive, even if only for a while longer. When a handful of the prisoners plan an uprising, their plot is complicated when a young girl is revived, having somehow lived through the gas chamber. Though the scenes of the crematoria are graphic and very chilling, this is a movie to watch if you can deal with some tough realities. This is definitely adult-only material.

Movie Review: THE GREY ZONE
Summary: 5 Stars
The Grey Zone This is simply a excellent movie based on a broadway play i believe.I purchased after seing only part of it on a hotel cable channel one night.I actually purchased it in VHS format which was all that was available.(at that time).I AM HABIRU,so perhaps the movie holds more of a subjective effect on my religious group.But like the movie"Braveheart" it should touch others not personally involved.But like BRAVEHEART it should have the same effect on all decent people who watch it.That is why it is an exellent movie.Strogly Reccomended.Not for the faint of heart.Not atear jerker.Just reality portrayed by the actors. MOST highly reccomendedMovie Review: This is the real deal. Powerful to say the least.
Summary: 5 Stars
Tim Blake Nelson directs an outstanding ensemble cast in what to my mind is the definitively realistic portrayal of WWII atrocities. Unlike 'Schindler's List' or 'The Pianist', there is but a shred of happy ending here. And it is simply that a small group of hopeless people did what they could to atone for their shameful choices, and to strike a blow for humanity, however brief and ultimately ineffectual. This is a stunning movie based on a true story. There's not a single wrong note, bad performance, forced sympathy, or easy out. It's bleak and powerful.
