Very moving and interesting documentary about the children who left continental Europe to escape the Nazis. Via letters,archive film and interviews you hear the story of the European Jews before,during and after their persecution by the Nazis. For anyone who says "why didn't they leave before the Holocaust" should watch this to see how difficult it actually was to escape the Nazis even before WW2

One of the most accurate sea dating I've seen. Some called it boring but it realistically shows life at sea due the British hey day. First rate cinematography,acting,set design etc.

Shame they never made a planned for sequel

Glad that I watched this movie before the Oscar nominees were announced. I feel a number of people Judge it harshly bcos it won a film over other equally excellent movies

In my opinion it's definitely one of the best movies of 2019-2020.

Excellent performances and a harsh view of people at the bottom

The movie switches very quickly from comedy to drama to violence near end.

Sad open ended finale.

Highly recommend

Not a well made movie at all. Some okay performances but all in all pretty crap

Such a waste of talented cast. Not funny at all (I usually find Ricky Gervais humorous) and a waste of endless famous cameos

Great performances and production of an extremely sad story. Shame it wasn't more successful bcos it's one of the better movies made that year

Great historical document on how life was for the country working class of Australia. Has aged pretty well and is based of one of the most loved Australian autobiographies that has been written

Great performances by the various kids playing Bert. Also features numerous great Aussie actors such as Ray Meagher and Bill Hunter

The 4th and final episode is based in Egypt and than Gallipoli. Excellent depiction of wartime from an Australian point of view

On paper it seems dull, 12 men in a jury room deciding the fate of a defendant.

But with sterling performances by an all star male cast, it's one of the great movies from the golden age of Hollywood

At times it's a great movie with a star studded cast but times it's quite average (I loath the scenes that use narration - very lazy storytelling).

The set design,costumes and acting are top notch but this un-Tarantino style film isn't one of his best

Great to see Pesci,De Niro and Pacino in a gangster movie together. The movie is a tad overlong but still enjoyable. Excellent supporting cast including Ray Romano,Bobby Cannavale,Harvey Keitel plus many more

Best to watch as a mini series (breaking up into a number of episodes)

Even though it's not in my top 5 Scorcese movies it's still better than most movies made today.

Another excellent Israeli movie that I quite enjoyed. Was remade a few years later in Hollywood but I still prefer this version. Great movie

Took me while to watch this movie due to loathing Hollywood's habit of remaking successful foreign movies.

I was surprised at how much I liked this remake of the Israeli movie (which I loved).

The cast all do a great job but while the movie is still a pale imitation of the original it's still a good way to spend a few hours

As a number of flaws but backed by a number of excellent performances (especially Nazanin Boniadi and Tilda Cobham-Hervey who should've won her AACTA category) this movie is worth a watch.

I always try to watch Australian movies to support industry. This one is a beautifully shot movie that has many flaws. Sadly falls into the black armband view of that all English characters have to evil.

Dont really think it should've won as many Aussie film awards and that many other deserving films missed out. Unsure why Magnolia Maymuru won the best supporting award when she barely appears in movie and wasn't that amazing (thought actress from Hotel Mumbai should've won). Aisling Franciosi as Clare Carroll was excellent and did a great job throughout movie

If you see it on Foxtel give it a chance but don't expect too much
