Poster Rating: B-

Review: The overall design is solid, it’s a fascinating image that requires one to read to get the full understanding of it. That you cannot figure out that it’s a foreign language film might be frustrating to some.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: Some elements of the trailer paint the film as a rather conventional narrative. However, it’s a period of history that doesn’t get a lot of examination as most are focused on the events of World War II and its immediate aftermath, not the years it took to come to terms with the outcome. This film looks to do that, which gives it a bit of weight.
