Review of To Life!

To Life! (2014)
3/10
A good story poorly told!
17 June 2023
The concept behind this story is good, but unfortunately the way in which it is told in this film is really bad. The scenes are juxtaposed on one another in a nonlinear manner, randomly stuck together in the hope that the story will emerge eventually. It does not! The director seems to be more focused on the "artsy" feel of the movie than trying to tell the story in a coherent manner. The holocaust images add nothing to the story and constantly using them proves distracting. The talents of two good actors are just wasted. Because the narrative unfolds in such a nonlinear manner, it's a struggle to find coherence and continuity in the film. Could only tolerate watching the first half of it!
