| | Movie Haiku: | Somber and well-intentioned Holocaust story is beautifully-acted and technically well-made, but totally misguided. Writer/director Mark Herman has removed all geographic and historical markers in order to “universalize” the story, but film is a visual medium, & the elusive mystery of John Boyne’s novel is destroyed by Herman’s attempt to embody it. |
