Advantages: A Rare and perfect movie Disadvantages: It makes many other movies seem poor in comparison
...big glitzzy Hollywood fomulaic forgettable....... Fateless is a rare diamond in a landscape of broken glass. Its not a star studded exercise for the jaded "Look at me" hacks who command mighty pay days for uninspired blandness, Fateless is an absorbing experience that reminds what Cinema/Movies are all about.
Marcell Nagy plays György Köves a 14 year old Jewish boy in Budapest in 1944, events unfold and György is shipped of in a railway cattle truck ... ...I can not recommend Fateless enough, if you enjoy watching a movie because you want to be taken into a story and absord an experience that is made with such fresh and envigorated thought then this is pure oxygen, Fateless treats the viewer like a thinking human being and delivers much more than I expected. ...

Quick review of Fateless DVD Review ofFateless DVDby
AJR100
I have never sat through so much rubbish in all my life - the film is in Hungarian and in no way even gets close ti being interesting. The subject matter in my opinion is a really sensitive issue but this film seems to approach it with a "matter of fact " attitude which is bordering on offensive.
I could not relate to the main character at all and found him really irritating.
The end is appalling and I will not spoil it for those who want to watch it, but the main character suggests that he actually misses being in the concentration camsp because of the comarardre that existed there...
Crazy Film - one to fall asleep through
