A charming story about a town and their secrets just prior to WWI.

An artsy social drama when children turn into monsters like their parents who had become corrupted in an authoritarian society. As suggested in the opening dialogue, the background mystery was a metaphor of what was wrong with the German…

A awesome film! Touching and creepy simultaneously. Brilliantly written. The cinematography is classical and effective.

Beautifully filmed in black and white, this movie is filled with tension from the beginning till the end. This movie is pretty slow; however, it explores the disturbing notion that even children are capable of severe violence, when pushed…

Another, I can’t believe this was nominated for an Academy award!! Pointless and boring. Just when you think this movie is getting somewhere, it doesn’t!!

Another brilliant German film. I love the evil hiding behind the Choral Evensong.

Outstanding story and direction from the Austrian director, Michael Haneke. A story of suspicious events and crimes taking place in a village pretty much run by a baron and his family. The story is narrated by the village schoolteacher and…

This is a devastating indictment of old world attitudes and practices of child-rearing. As the narrator implies early on, the tale offers insight into the rise of fascism. The theories of Alice Miller are put in play: repression and…

I feel this is an OK film, but it is over rated for winning the Best Foreign Film. By the way, the white subtitle in this DVD is hard to read for this black and white film.

Who done it??? Definitely not the guide for parental discipline.

Just like most European movies, this one doesn't tell you who actually committed the crimes. So get ready to spend a couple of days analyzing the options, after you watch this movie. I liked how they captured the lives of villagers,…

I was glued to my seat in shock. A friend recommended it under the notion of "Transferral of Ancestral Patterns". And this movie seems to pick up exactly how my parents grew up and how under the influence of cruelty, negligence and…

A very good movie, quite thought provoking.

Overly long historical mystery with several good performances but too much nauseating abuse of women & especially children, plus a terrifically dissatisfying ending. I awarded 3 stars purely for the film's excellent black-&-white visuals.

Fair – The White Ribbon (2009) [Foreign - German] 144 min. Good production values and acting is marred by a story that really doesn’t go anywhere. The plot is properly set up but with no resolution other than to introduce the viewer to a…
