I saw this BBC movie last night and it is EXCELLENT.
The ending is sudden, shocking and sad. (the theater was dead quiet at the end).
Has anyone else heard of or seen this movie?

I saw it last week. I loved it and the entire theater was silent and crying (including me). I lost it during the dinner party scene.
So wrong on every possible human level.

I forgot to add I LOVED the cinematography! Just beautiful!!

The kid who plays "Bruno" (the German kid) is excellent. He is so ignorant, naive and innocent; it's endearing and also frustrating. Oh, and the role of the father (who is a Nazi Commandant) is the same actor who played Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies.

Ahhhhh...THAT's why he looked so familiar!

I saw it alone also. I'm glad I did. I waited until everyone had left before I got up to leave. I wear contacts and when I got to the ladies room, my eyes were bloodshot! I didn't feel to silly though because all the other women in there were crying too
We all chuckled at each other. We chatted about when we started tearing up and when we lost it. It was a good moment.
