Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'The Grey Zone' is an impressive film about Sonderkomandos, Jews who are
forced to work in the crematoria of Auschwitz. First you ask yourself how
Jews can do that, but after the movie you understand. It is all about
surviving.
Tim Blake Nelson does a great job directing this material. It is not as good
as 'Schindler's List' or 'The Pianist' but it definitely a very good film.
The only really stupid thing is the accent of Harvey Keitel. If Germans and
Hongarians speak English why does the German officer played by Keitel have a
stupid German accent? Well, despite that, it is a great film.
