Captivating story, historically fascinating. See Review

A good read, Good Characterisation, Excellent Background information about 1930s Berlin You find it hard to empathise with any of the characters

Powerful, thought-provoking narrative and dialogue., tackles difficult issues from many sides., must be a strong candidate for the Booker prize, surely??? Disturbing echoes of the murder of James Bulger.


Interesting characters, Unique story, The style and everything else Could ruin the movie for you, but that's really doubtful

Good story None
