i believe that this movie be well act as well a well think out . the question really be while how do i tell young people about this terrible tragedy without be to graphic and still hold their attention . i think that the movie answer that question admirably . kirsten dunst be a great actress that show her ability to tell a serious story with a sense of lightheartedness . let not forget brittany murphy . she be a highly underrated actress who just barely break the surface of what she can do in this movie . overall and if your look to tell or show a group of preteen or teens the story of the holocaust without the brutality then this be the only movie to show them .
