Review of Auschwitz

Auschwitz (2011)
1/10
Truly awful.

This film not only was full of historical inaccuracies but at some points I felt that it even bordered on exploitative.

The baby killings I found obscene and unnecessary, but it is also just plain incorrect, you gain a sense that this was a routinely managed process upon arrival, which it was not, infants were killed, sometimes in ways much more inhumane than shooting, but there was not a managed process. My point is, the film is completely riddled with bad and obvious mistakes.

This 'film' promises both a documentary and dramatisation. It delivers neither. The viewer gains a very poor representation of the camp, this may be because of lack of research or budget limitations, but it simply does not deliver a convincing representation of the scale of Auschwits. The documentary also seems to have been compiled by some monkey and the result is a very uninteresting second half of the movie to match the equally mundane first half.

Please do not watch this film, it is really not worth your time.
