Preview: Sarah's Key (2011)

Synopsis:

A woman, exploring the atrocities against Jews by French forces during World War II, leads her on a search for a young girl who doesn't show on rosters as having been transferred or killed.

• Poster: C+

Review:

The ocean scene doesn't make a lot of sense in respect to the film or the trailer and may have more meaning if you've seen the entire film. This creates a disconnect between audience interest and attendance.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

The trailer presents what looks like it could be a moving story lead by the wonderful Kristin Scott Thomas.

Oscar Prospects:

If the film is submitted by France to this year's Academy Awards, it could be a force to be reckoned with. Scott Thomas has an Oscar nomination under her belt and the Holocaust theme could propel it forward.

Release Date:
