Movie Reviews of The Ninth Day

Movie Review: Faithful
Summary: 5 Stars

There are very few movies based on a book that faithfully relate the story and remain engaging. Either the film plods along as a page by page recounting of the book or it takes the story in an entirely different direction. This film, based upon Priestblock 25487 (a phenomenal read!) manages to strike this careful balance. While viewing the events of the book through the narrow prism of nine days in the life of a priest imprisoned in Dachau it fleshes out the plot, and includes some of the most jarring and graphic scenes of the book.

The film is also about faithfulness on another level, whether in the midst of the hell was the experience of those in concentration camps, one can maintain a firm grasp on one's faith.

The acting was superb, as was the cinematography. As many have already mentioned, this film is a true gem and deserves more recognition (as does the book upon which it is based.).
