Critic Reviews:
- " A superb adaptation of John Boyne's novel bears witness to the
unyielding horror of the Holocaust through the eyes of a child. " –
Leigh Paatsch
- " This intelligent film offers a fresh perspective on an oft-portrayed
period, asking the viewer to question his own assumptions about what he expects
and wants from such a telling. " – Kelly Jane
Torrance
- " We are left in no doubt about the brutality of what's going on there
but it's almost entirely off-screen. Still, the film is terribly confronting.
" – Paul Byrnes
