What a film! What a story! And it's based on real events! I was absolutely mesmerised.
This is a film about survival, strength, extreme bravery, selflessness, the sheer will to stay alive and the risks "normal" people will take to save one man in the face of the brutality of not only the terrain and weather but also of the Nazi's hunting him.
Excellent acting, stunning visuals and cinematography; this film had my bum firmly planted for all of its 135 minutes.
I know some people don't like watching films with subtitles, but please, please don't let that put you off; there isn't a massive amount of dialogue as what is spoken is not the draw of this film.
How accurate it really is, I don't know but if only half of it is close to the truth then I would still be in awe.
Definitely recommended viewing.
