We know where this is going pretty early on, but that doesn't prevent "Lore" from being riveting stuff, start to finish.
This striking, slow-building drama ... uses fractured, impressionistic imagery as a mirror of moral dislocation as the children make their way through an unfamiliar landscape.
It's a remarkable accomplishment.
Saskia Rosendahl is a highly expressive actress within the limited confines of her character, and the film is studded with memorable scenes.
"Lore" is the sort of movie you'd already expect to rip your heart out, but that doesn't diminish the tragedy when it does arrive.
If "Lore" is an upsetting and uncomfortable film set in a morally bleak landscape, it also offers a guardedly optimistic vision of the possibility of human change.
An unusual, constantly surprising post-WWII odyssey, this film may feel a bit thin and episodic, but it tells an evocative story with darkly moving emotion.
Shortland does an impressive job of evoking the rotten heart of a country turning in on itself.
The film is ultimately about a spectacular fall from innocence that feels both highly personal and universal.
As with all the best fairytales, there is a blackness and brutality at its centre.
Not even safety and sanctuary quite wipe clean the trauma slate. New autocracies lie in wait, ready to replace the old.
Shortland and her ferocious lead actress, Saskia Rosendahl, burrow so deeply into the thoughts of the stubborn, infuriating protagonist that you leave the movie unable to stop wondering what the rest of her life will be like.
A tough yet rewarding viewing experience!
Certainly sounds good on paper, but a little shallow and overstated in reality.
While prone to arty lingering, thus wasting time that would have been more wisely spent plugging gaps in the narrative, Shortland slathers the story in enough mud and horror to make it a compellingly visceral experience.
A provocative and emotionally complex drama with a terrific central performance from newcomer Saskia Rosendahl.
It's a close, intimate film - sometimes so close you can feel the breath of its characters in your face.
Shortland creates a palpable sense of atmosphere, and coupled with fluid camerawork and a verdant forest backdrop, Lore looks and feels a world apart from other World War II-set dramas.
This oblique and understated tale of lost innocence conveys both an individual's experiences and a powerful sense of a ruined nation.
Shortland's measured pacing and hypnotic visuals make this a mesmerising journey through a defeated landscape.
The result is a stimulating portrayal of an under-examined aspect of Nazism's terrible legacy.
Enough cannot be said about its leading lady, a truly captivating actress at a very young age who should be an international star.
