I finally saw this film yesterday. I had been waiting four months to see it because I live in Australia.
If you were to see this film without knowing anything about it, you may miss many things in the film because the film is not a Hollywood film. It is much more like a documentary.
Because I had to wait, I already knew a lot about this film, so I didn’t miss any of the information (scenes). My friend who was with me missed several key clues that were in the film. I’m sure this has happened to a lot of people.
I did so much research it wasn’t funny. I watched over thirty reviews and over ten interviews with the director Jonathan Glazer.
I believe that due to the amount of time that has passed since the second world war, more films and documentaries can now be made from the German point of view. I’ve actually been waiting for this change since the year 2000, when I became very interested in history. There is a plethora of films and documentaries made from the Allies point of view. In reality there are always two sides to every conflict.
I will be seeing this film again. I cried a lot during it, which I was expecting.

One thing that came up while watching this film was: we both felt guilty for laughing at some of the funny parts of the film.
I had never thought of that but of course. Everyone has a view or opinion and there’s propaganda. Sounds like you have immersed yourself in history which helps understand how we got here in 2024. I love history but learning about other religions around the world gives me a kick. Have a great day!
Thank you.
Great review! I’m really looking forward to watch this. I’ve always been a big fan of movies about the Holocaust and this falls firmly in that category. For instance, recently I really enjoyed “Jojo Rabbit”. Here’s my review for that film:
Thanks for the heads up on the movie.
