    Adolf portrayal fascinating

    Heartfelt and moving film about two neighbors. One is possibly Adolf Hitler and the other is a Holocaust survivor who is trying to understand his neighbor by spying with expensive photographic equipment and daring break-ins. Excellent acting, directing, overall a very thought-provoking and creative approach to a subject that is sensitive to a large audience. Highly recommended. I especially liked the portrayal of the new suspicious neighbor by veteran actor, Udo Kier, who is a very well-known actor in Europe and in the US for his many films, including Andy Warhol productions ("Flesh for Frankenstein" and "Blood for Dracula"). In his early 20s he was considered the world's most handsome man.

    Kind of Black Comedy

    The movie "My Neighbor Adolf" is a comedy-drama that follows the story of a Holocaust survivor who believes his neighbor is Hitler and embarks on a mission to collect evidence to support his theory. Despite the heavy subject matter of the Holocaust and World War II, the movie manages to maintain a light tone. However, it falls short in terms of depth, direction, and script. While the plot has some originality, director Leon Prudovsky's inexperience may have contributed to the movie's lack of coherence.

    David Hayman as the Polish character Mr. Polsky, and Udo Kier, as the German character Mr. Herzog, deliver very good performances in spite of the film's direction.

    A film about friendship

    My Neighbour Adolf (2022) Set in South America (Columbia) in 1960. We find a lonely old man, who is a concentration camp survivor a Polish Jew called Mr Polski. He's lost his whole family in the holocaust and now he is hiding from the world and his past. He falls out with his new elderly neighbour whose house borders his, when they argue over the the deeds of their respective houses and the building of a fence. Suspecting that the neighbour is Adolf Hitler, he can't convince the Israel embassy of Hitler's existence. Polski has to find the proof.

    What we find is the developing relationship between the two men. Despite their obvious respective histories they slowly become friends.

    The film does have its comic moments, I suspects it is marketed as a comedy. The underlying sadness prevails and that along with the two leads, David Hayman and Udo Keir are excellent and they make it a great gentle film. PS there is a twist which I won't give away. 7/10.

    Summary: a film about friendship.

    Very watchable and enjoyable...

    Stumbling upon the 2022 comedy drama "My Neighbor Adolf" by random chance, I must admit that I immediate wanted to see it. First of all, the title was interesting, and then seeing that movie was starring Udo Kier also helped to add to the interest, and of course the movie's synopsis was just a sure win.

    Writers Dmitry Malinsky and Leon Prudovsky put together not only a good script and plot here, but also one that had many layers of various aspects of enjoyment to it. The foundation of the story is one that I had heard before, about Adolf Hitler not actually having died at the end of World War II, but he had moved to South America, so there was a sense of familiarity to the script.

    The character gallery in "My Neighbor Adolf" is really great, the writers did amazing jobs at fleshing out the characters, making them believable and adding elements to them that the audience can relate to and associate with. This makes for a very enjoyable viewing, as the characters are so nicely fleshed out and feels like real people. It is a relatively small character gallery, but it works because the characters are so detailed and layered.

    "My Neighbor Adolf" has a great cast ensemble, with great performances by the two leading actors David Hayman (playing Mr. Polsky) and Udo Kier (playing Mr. Herzog). These two actors are nicely cast and they bring so much life to their characters that they alone make it well-worth watching the movie.

    While "My Neighbor Adolf" is listed as a comedy drama, don't expect to sit down and be laughing until you have tears streaking down your cheeks. Nay, the comedy in "My Neighbor Adolf" is very subtle, but director Leon Prudovsky makes excellent use of these small comedy nuggets, and it works very much in favor of the overall of the movie.

    I was more than genuinely entertained by "My Neighbor Adolf", and this is a movie that I can warmly recommend you to sit down and watch, should you have the opportunity to do so. However, it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

    My rating of "My Neighbor Adolf" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

    Relentless and intrusive dark comedy

    "My Neighbor Adolf" seems quite refined in its treatment of the subject of Hitler's possible escape to Argentine , or having doubles across the world,, Feels to me this film unfolds like an earnest, low-rent "Rear Window," which is more psychological than suspense-driven in nature, which is admirable, if disappointing in the end. Instead of escalating to a dramatic and potentially violent confrontation, this film seeks to offer its protagonists some respite from the trauma each has experienced - to bury the past, and that's never an easy thing to do, if not outright impossible as this movie clearly demonstrates to us.
