Review of Colonia (2016) by Jens S — 22 Dec 2017

For a movie based on real events this thriller actually does not go very deep. The everyday routine on the Nazi-cult Colonia is properly horrifying and the showdown pretty exciting, albeit a tad over the top.

But we learn very little about the motivations behind the cult, making it almost cartoonishly evil. That makes for an engaging ride, but also a rather shallow one.
