Where Hands Touch
Description
Lena, a 15-year-old daughter of a white German mother and a black father, lives in fear of her skin color, and seems to receive permanent ridicule around her. As time passes through these painful events, events change when Lutz, the son of a senior SS officer and member of Hitler's youth, meets all Aryan boys since 1936. Maybe there will be a deep love story run by Lena and Lutz, putting their lives at risk in the shadow of bad conditions.

Where Hands Touch is a waste of solid acting by Amandla Stenberg, and time for its viewers. Asante's attempt to make Nazi characters appear sympathetic is a perfect example of not reading the room, especially in this contentious time in our country.
September 13, 2018
Asante usually excels at sharing stories audiences haven't seen before, so it's unfortunate that this one feels so dully familiar.

The longer it lasts, the more insipid it gets

Stenberg carries the magnetism she brought to her breakthrough role in the YA romance "Everything, Everything," but she's betrayed by a stilted rendering of a rarely illuminated piece of history.

Asante focuses our attention on yet another story of the Black experience and she accomplishes what she sets out to do. Where Hands Touch is an important and beautiful film.
December 16, 2018
While not hitting the heights it could have, Where Hands Touch is a reminder that there are plenty of stories from this era that have yet to be told.
September 14, 2018
Where Hands Touch is a coming of age story, a saga of war, and a heart-rending love story about a forbidden romance that defied the odds against survival in a living hell.
September 10, 2018
When the complex, humanizing portrayal of Nazi characters and SS soldiers enter the picture, good intentions do derail fast, leading to disturbing outcomes.
September 21, 2018
Where Hands Touch is unfortunately as problematic as we assumed; the questions it raises about national vs. cultural identity didn't need a Nazi romance to be resonant.
September 13, 2018
A gut-wrenching misfire.
September 28, 2018
... provides mild insight into an obscure aspect of the war, although its heartfelt intentions ring hollow amid an abundance of sentimentality.
September 10, 2018
Throughout, Asante raises questions about bravery, conscience and, most of all, identity.
