I do have a thing for movies about Nazi Germany, I admit it. This one is really, really good. It also, I believe, was based on a true story...like most of them.
Very hard to get into because you switch in time so many times, but it is well worth it. Beautifully acted and well put together. Loved it.

One of the cinema's most stirring celebrations of married love and a portrayal of the 'good German' in World War II that is true, convincing and profoundly moving. Full Review
