A rather charming little crowd pleaser that like Schindler's List before it tries to take genocide and make into a daytime movie.
Not a lot of substance and virtually no edge, it's still pretty effecting though the angle of death as the narrator (obligatorily carried over from the novel) just feels arbitrary and excessive here and is an example of narration just being used as a lame excuse to not tell the story visually.
And it's in English. Which is NOT OK. They don't even pick a language and stick to it, she's all like "nein, nein, nein, don't do that". Which is a new level of dumb and cost this movie a grade from me.
