One of the most boring, overrated films ever.


I couldnt believe how boring this film was. I'm not knocking the subject matter - It is definately important, however the film is one of the most overrated, tired dramas I think I've ever seen. Pity, this could have been an incredible film, instead it just turned into a soap episode on the big screen. 5/10

I actually really enjoyed it. I thought it was a lot more nuanced and less superficial than I expected. It did feel a little dragged out though. I watched the movie in parts, instead of all the way through in one sit-down, so perhaps because of that, the pacing didn't bother me.

Yes, of course anti-Semitism is bad, but we all already know that. This, Like "To Kill a Mockingbird", is one of Peck's pompous, preachy, overrated films that people get all solemn over for no rational reason.
