beautiful, i love jessica chastain but her accent was a bit off in this? the scene of jan lifting the kids into that train carriage had be sick to my stomach. Daniel César Martín Brühl González is in both of the ww2 movies i watched today so that was weird for me.

WWII films always give me a new perspective of people’s experiences. I enjoyed this one.
