Title: Riveting
Review: When I first started watching this, it looked like it would be a boring movie. But soon thereafter I was riveted. To know that this was based on truth makes it more powerful, and there's a tenseness and horror that captures your attention. Mostly set in a courtroom, this movie does go on a long time, but I didn't want to stop watching it to go do the dishes I was supposed to be doing.It's a movie that makes you think about both sides of the story of the Holocost, yet pulls it all back into stark reality and honesty. The speech Dr. Ernst Janning (Burt Lancaster) makes near the end is wonderful yet sad. All the acting is brilliantly done.The only real caution I give is that there is some bad langauge and some of the things talked about are shocking--but the latter is to be expected from such a subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
