The great strength of this movie is its simplicity, the very thing which seems to put a lot of people off. There's no melodramatically intercut archive footage or stirring musical crescendos to manipulate ones emotions; its just an old lady, who happened to be an unwitting eyewit... read more
A 90-ish minute interview with Tradul Junge which could have been terribly boring but ends up being fascinating. It's easy to project yourself into her place and be immersed in this exciting world, but nearly impossible to fathom life after the war, faced with the truth of the ho... read more
Very fascinating to watch. It seemed as if the longer Traudl Junge went on with her stories of Hitler and the last days, the film really went much quicker. The first half hour 45 minutes were kind of distracting with all the cuts that the directers made and it became hard to wa... read more
A rare firsthand, personalized look into what it was like to be around the private Hitler. And after having watched so many documentaries about the Nazis rise to power, so many interviews with former cogs in the German machine, it is a relief to listen to someone who was involve... read more
the directors were obviously attempting to 'represent" the suffering of the jews through the suffering of their audience. wow. i'm guessing this is considered a very "artful" documentary. and, maybe someday i might be able to appreciate that kinda thing. not now. ugh.
For hard-core history buffs or researchers. Or if you're into watching old ladies talk while smoking cigarettes.
Both a documentary and, for all intents and purposes, the last testament of a generation's tragic folly. Full Review
Both mesmerizing and disquieting.
Isn't much of a movie, but it's a whale of a story. Full Review
A footnote in the troubled history of the world. A footnote, yes, but a fascinating one.
The film's legacy is a poignant reminder of how Hitler's shadow still looms. Full Review
It is mesmerizing at times, repetitive at times, and most revealing when it separates the Adolf Hitler the world knew from the private Hitler.
Because it is all monologue, the film has the effect of a casual lecturer's going on for 90 minutes. But what a lecturer and what a 90 minutes!
It is a firsthand account from an eyewitness to history, a woman who was at Hitler's elbow until the very end.
Perhaps most distressing to subject and audience alike is the way one can be at the epicenter of history and still remain blind, both because the actual evil is happening elsewhere and because it's ea... Full Review
