Dara iz Jasenovca (2020)
Spectacle over substance
28 January 2021 - 81 out of 93 users found this review helpful.
While the film has excellent shots, with the lighting and camera working to achieve full immersion, the spectacle tends to drown the story in gory details. For a domestic audience, this is a common theme and it can be considered passe, but it is a historic drama and should be viewed as such, especially as it shows the parts of the Holocaust that are not as familiar to foreign viewers.
Overall, this is definitely a movie that lovers of historic pieces shouldn't miss, as it tells a story that should be told. One might dismiss the story for the corniness and often misguided focus, but the events are based on facts and the general impact is quite emotional.
