The amazing second half redeemed the lackluster first half. The main character I felt like he was a bit passive, not really forming an opinion on the rounding of Jews and never really felt a bond with the woman. These get rectified in the latter half, but for the first half I was watching it only passively. It was horrifying to see so much evil so casually. Definitely worth watching.

Initially I wondered whether this wasn't something of an apology for the Czech people who got caught up in the Nazi machine and thereby became complicit. And while understanding the complexities of a situation (which this film does beautifully) always yields empathy, the particular way this plays out lays a heavy weight of responsibility upon the general populace through the character of Tony. In the end, we get a dark portrait that grieves the monumental losses--personal and communal.

kind of dragged at points, could've used some distilling down. old lady was a bit too senile/goofy to really care too much about her.

There is nothing wrong with this movie, and in fact it's a thoughtful and sympathetic depiction of the guilty conscious of collaboration, but I just don't feel very strongly about it.

Inventive and well-made examination of the increasing impossibility of maintaining denial as the nightmare unfolds, fashioned with an extraordinary (and today very uncommon) restraint about what to show and what to leave offscreen: the narrative is effectively terrifying precisely because it takes advantage of the knowledge audiences must already possess about the inevitable onrush of collective madness and its awful consequences. Almost the entire thing occurs within two interior locations.

I first flinched from the way Jewish expropriation is handled as farce, but then the deportation sequence comes, and it's truly disquieting, because it's seen from a supposedly safe distance that relates to the way we witness the tragedies of the world. And finally, just before the unnecessary ending: the horror of what we have inherited.

One of the best Holocaust movies, mostly because we watch all of the bad events from the vantage point of the shop, an utterly fascinating effect. Great performances, too.

That scene where the old lady Lautmann brings breakfast to Tono, while chaos is breaking loose out on the streets, is one of the most frightening moments I've ever seen on film.

Good movie with great acting. I'm however more a fan of Closely Watched Trains Czechoslovakia's second foreign language movie win two years later.

Tremendous, although the final part was a bit overwrought.
