TLDR
Hope we continue to remember our history. Hope we don’t repeat it again.
What it's about
The take
Most people can easily acknowledge the atrocities Nazi Germany did in World War II, but Germany didn’t do them alone. It is a world war, after all. Sarah’s Key confronts that painful past through a journalist investigating a possible Holocaust survivor. Admittedly, alternating between 2009 and 1942 made the film a bit uneven, with the well-researched past proving to be more compelling than the present. Still, the film adaptation of the powerful novel powerfully reckons with the way Vichy France was complicit in this terrible time. Sarah’s Key isn’t perfect, but it’s an important reminder to acknowledge the history that continues to shape us, especially when it’s something we would rather forget.
