This writer can't remember witnessing a harder-hitting kids' movie denouement than the one that closes this microcosm of middle-class German family life in WWII.

The result isn't a deep film, but rather a profound one.

Much of the film depends on our ability to suspend disbelief and see the world as Bruno sees it. It has a finale designed to shock.

Although it's told from the perspective of a child, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is as shattering as any film about the Holocaust could be, perhaps more so.

We are left in no doubt about the brutality of what's going on there but it's almost entirely off-screen. Still, the film is terribly confronting.

Not without its qualities, the movie ultimately does a disservice to the very people it purports to represent.

[Director] Mark Herman knows how to milk the melodrama from every scene, but viewers may feel a little icky about the experience.

In truth, the film is sure to stop the hearts of many who see it. There may indeed be hope in hell, but better to avoid hell altogether.

Built upon a powerful but gimmicky end, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas would make a fine short. As a full-length feature, though, the pajamas wear thin quickly.

Young Scanlon and Butterfield are scathingly effective, never overplaying their roles.

A film dealing with the Holocaust really should be a little less clumsily executed, manipulative and contrived than this.
November 14, 2008
Because its gaze is so level and so unyielding, it stands as one of the better dramatic films made on this subject (although it's not nearly as fine as Louis Malle's Au Revoir les Enfants, in which the camps remain a distant abstraction).
