Review of God on Trial (2008) by Jamison R — 31 Mar 2010

A uniquely powerful film about a group of prisoners at Auschwitz during WW2. In their final moments under the tortuous Nazi regime they decide to put the one person they feel is responsible, God. They form a tribunal and try the Lord himself, with arguments from all sides about why God's allows tragedies. Men tell of how they and their families were taken by the Nazis. It is an intense film.

The only problems I had with this were with the British accents throughout, but being a BBC production its expected. Also, these prisoners in a concentration camp are remarkably robust. Led by Stellan Skarsgard they are very well fed looking men who all got buzzcuts for the role. Outside of that this movie hits it's mark.
