Good movie

by LizMael

It was a good movie. It's one of those movies I will probably remember all my life due to the historical content, although it was a bit predictable in places.

Sarah's Key is a "Must See"

by Staal1205

The movie was beautifully acted and filmed. I had read the book and it followed very closely. Kristin Scott Thomas gave a wonderfl performance and Sarah as a young girl was fantastic.

A story that will touch your whole being. It was told well. Go see it. Well Worth it.

by buffetfan1102

This movie was a well told story. It was a story that you will follow to the end. You watch and wonder what will come next and how will it end. Not too slow but at a good pace. I would see it again. Some tough scenes to watch. It is hard to watch human beings treated in such a bad. but only a short scene. Go see it. You will walk away touched by it.

So worth it!!

by jmpfahl

I read this book years ago, and I really like it. However I like these kinds of books/movies. Some people find them depressing etc. The movie followed so true to the book that I was amazed! The acting was phenomenal, I feel like the little girl who played Sarah was the characters incarnate!! The cinematography/directing/writing etc just all great, the entire movie was breathtaking!! Even though I knew the story, and knew what was going to happen it still had such an emotional impact, more than the book did in my opinion. You believed these actors and their emotions. I can't say enough good things about the girl who played Sarah, just exceptional. So if you enjoy these kinds of movies then definitely go see it!! If you are afraid it won't be as good as the book don't worry it's a very pure transition, one of the best jobs of going from book to movie I have ever seen!!

Sarah's Key

by red.mac.attack

Wow, this is a portion of history of which I was totally unaware. This is a great film. I literally sobbed at one point. Definitely for adults only, due to the subject matter. Kristen Scott Thomas is a tremendous actress and deserves an Oscar for best actor. I also believe this should win for best film.

Wow.

by ciaobella33181

I hate to say this is a "great" movie, given the heaviness of the subject itself. I will say that it was very well done. The acting was superb, the story line intense, and the filming was first class. I wasn't sure how the quality would be considering this to be a foreign film, but it did not dissapoint. It was a tear jerker to be sure and very sobering. I had previously read the book and was surprised at how closely the movie followed the story line of the book. It was probably one of the closest book-to-movie adaptions I have ever watched. I went with my boyfriend who felt that the plot kept him guessing and it was not easy to assume which way the story would go. It was again, a very sobering movie. I felt at a loss for words after leaving the show, and it prompted some constructive conversation between my boyfriend and I. I think it's the type of movie that would be of benefit to the viewer to watch at least once, but it's not really for "entertainment" purposes.

SARAH'S KEY

by Freedah

The movie was as wonderful as the book. It really brought the book to life. I felt it was beautifully cast. It caught the horror of the situation and the need to solve the riddle of Sarah.
This is not a movie for kids But a must see for ALL teens and older.

Very well done and followed the book fairly well. The characters were as the reader would imagine and though some parts of the book are missing, it didn't hurt the movie.

A Rare Find in a 2011 movie

by cccourt

As Schindler's List, The Reader, and Live is Beautiful , this story leaves you with the knowledge of the effect on the generations after the holocaust. If the story of the French gathering of the Jewish population was well known, it would have been discussed and we would all know this event. Learning about the Wilhelm Gusthoff ship earlier this summer and now this makes me realize post WWII generations have gleaned our knowledge of that war from romantic movies of our era....but for the ones mentioned above. Direction, location, actors, OUTSTANDING. Hope this small film earns the respect it deserves. Considering the USA has not suffered one whit (as a whole) during the last decade of wars embarrasses me when I realize what all was suffered and sacrificed during this war.
