5 stars (Exceptional) Very intelligent film on totalitarian art - Nazi & Stalinist. Based in Dresden. Well-acted, convincing & gruelling. Outstanding structure, history & vision on the nature of creativity. A fascinating story. ~Sandy
2 stars (Good Try) There is plenty of time to admire the excellent production values but there is not a great deal else to justify the running time. The screenplay easily gets distracted and it was like watching a mini-series where padding is inserted to extend things. ~Tubbs
