Art All Around: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas


Movie Review: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

This is a wonderful movie.  The film is based on a 2006 novel by John Boyne.  It is set in Germany during World War II.  A friendship is formed between two very young boys: on one either side of a concentration camp fence.  

If your heart is extra sensitive to movies about the Holocaust, then I would caution you against watching this movie.  Otherwise, I'd say: Watch it.  It's very powerful and gut-wrenching.  

I watched it a few weeks ago, and it still crosses my mind most days.  Below are some links for extra information.

Final Rating: 8.5 out of 10 stars
