Read More This a is a great movie! An amazing and consistently exciting and fascinating story of the tail end of the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands, the Dutch resistance, and a courageous Jewish woman's efforts to survive with dignity intact. It truthfully explores what is most noble and ignoble in human nature. Fine acting and direction, smart multi-dimensional characters, a rare film that works as a thought-provoking, adult exploration of human nature and the Nazi era and as an adventure replete with rousing sex and violence. Certainly one of the best films of 2006. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This Movie was a really surprise at first i thought its was something like the notebook and really didn't want to go through that with my gf again but we watch and its a real WWII epic with action, and a great unique story/perspective of a jewish girl in occupied Netherlands. Throughout the movie there had to been 3 to 4 languages being spoken or subtle but worked out smoothly. I would certainly recommend this in fact i will probably buy it.

Read More I watched this film and I was just awestruck by the acting and the story. Carice Van Houten was incredible in the main role, and she made the film seem completely believable. The mystery surrounding the black book, and the entire story kept me wanting to know what would happen next. I have told many of my friends about this film, and they have all enjoyed it!

The main actress is really good, and the supporting cast is solid. There are a few parts that are a bit far fetched so that the twist wil work as well as it does. It's an old fashion spy romance movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
