Storyline

Let Me Go is a film about mothers and daughters, it is about ghosts from the past and the impact they leave on the present. Developed from Helga Schneider's true life story, Let Me Go explores the effect on Helga's life of being abandoned by her mother, Traudi in 1941 when she was just four years old. The film is set in the year 2000 following not only Helga and Traudi's journeys but the next two generations and how Beth, Helga's daughter and Emily her granddaughter are confronted with the long-term effects of Traudi's leaving. When Helga receives a letter telling her that Traudi is close to death, it is Emily with whom Helga shares the truth. Emily volunteers to accompany her to Vienna to meet the great-grandmother she thought was dead, and experience the unraveling of the darkest of family secrets. Written by Polly Steele

Thought provoking emotional drama
15 July 2017 | by jeremymstone – See all my reviews

This is a truly remarkable movie based on a true story with a screenplay that is beautifully written and manages to conjure multiple emotions for the viewers. The performances of the entire cast is amazing but the interactions between the leading ladies leaves one often holding one's breath in anticipation. With a backdrop of the most incredible photography, a film score that is rich and beautiful in content and amazing all round production this is a film that draws the viewer in from the first scenes and never lets go. A thought provoking film absolutely appropriate for today's world and quite simply a must see movie.
