Megan’s Review:
This watched like a documentary to me. In story telling only, not acting. I like when I get to learn something new while eating popcorn. I had no idea of this story. Daniel Craig is fantastic, I would rather watch him as Tuvia Bielski than James Bond any day. Liev Schreiber was forceful and commanding, and Mia Wasikowska was endearing, I’ve loved her as Sophie from HBO’s original series In Treatment. It was a little slow in parts but well worth the time investment to learn of these amazing men and how remarkable the human spirit is. As the credits began to roll I had to just sit there for a minute as I tried to fathom, they actually LIVED this. Amazing. They were the Robin Hood of the 1940’s.
J., where the hell is your review? Get on it.
The third brother was great too, the actor’s name is Jamie Bell but I can’t remember the character’s name. I loved him in “Billy Elliot” and am glad to see him still working.
