nickemm-49541 Review of Getting Away with Murder(s)

Getting Away with Murder(s) (2021)

Riveting, revealing, disturbing, and a landmark documentary.

[10/10 · 11 January 2022]

I was lucky enough to see this documentary at Broadway cinema in Nottingham during its opening UK tour. I knew it was going to be a long film, followed by a Q&A with the Director, and Malka Levine, who is a survivor of the Holocaust, and also appears in the film. I can honestly say that I've never experienced a documentary like it before, unparalled for it its depth and intensity. From beginning to end it asks important questions and highlights layers of injustice on injustices that have never been highlighted before in the myriad of Holocaust documentaries that have been produced since the end of World War II. Like all films on this subject, it is at times harrowing and disturbing, but this is a documentary that had to be made, and deserves to be watched. It is without question an important piece of cinematic work.
