My Review :

Reflective, insightful and utterly heartbreaking. The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas is an interesting telling of one of the worst episodes in the history of human kind told from the perspective of a couple of innocent children. It is touching and devastating, but with several layers to be analysed. The two kids are great in their roles and Vera Farmiga is amazing as the mother. I love this film and, no matter how many time I see it, it breaks my heart every time.

My Rating :

Must own. A classic.
