    • Trivia
      Despite spending time living in Berlin and directing the movie where the actors performed completely in German, director Cate Shortland doesn't speak the language.
    • Goofs
      The German "das Baby" or "the baby" is used often and is in fact a recent Anglicism, and like much of the script, a word the Germans wouldn't have used in this period.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Vati: We can only take what fits in the truck.

      Mutti: I'm not talking about the damn truck!

      Vati: [Lore walks into the room] Hey, here she is! My girl. Come here.

    Transformation
    I just wanted to add a bit after reading some of the negative reviews.

    The transformation of Hannalore during this film was expressed excellently. From the ashes falling on them in the woods to her dependence on a Jew during her travels to her rebellion at the end.. Without a word spoken, the director was able to show the audience the subtle steps of her new awareness. I think that is what this movie was about. The story jumped from scene to scene without smooth transitions, but Hannalore's changing world view was very easy to grasp and understand. Each scene was developed to tell that story. I don't usually appreciate a director's use of camera angles, lighting, catching the right facial expressions, musical scores, and color tones. I think the director did a masterful job of depicting Hannalore's situation onto the audience without a lot of verbal exchange using those techniques.
