It annoyed me that they put a spoiler in like the 4th episode where they tell us they were together for 55 years, why would you do that in your own show?!
Husband lostt complete interest on the show after that, I continued the show after finding nothing else 5 days later.
Also so distracting that they put Rose from 2 and a half Men in there with a terrible blonde wig and an; what we thought New Zealand or South African accent? Apparently its an Australian accent?? We couldn't tell, we're Australian btw.
It really took us out of the story and the vibe of the show.
Were they trying to make it light hearted by doing this? Pulling us out of the terrible things that happened? I don't know.
Also the English accent on the Jewish guy, I would think that a Jewish accent would have been easier than a mixed Australian/New Zealand/South African accent.
If they wanted to make it really impact full, they shouldn't have bothered with these things.
Get rid of the try-hard Australian accent, have a neutral interviewer, get the guy to at least Try to do a Jewish accent, it isn't that hard, don't give away your own ending in your Own Show!
Plus her getting annoyed at him was unnecessary to put in, she feels so deeply for him and his story that she has a panic attack, but gets annoyed at him calling because he wants some human conversation or contact after his wife dies.
Also if they wanted to make a meaningful impact when they show the random faces of those who died, instead of being actors, show the REAL photographs of the people who died, pay tribute. That would have been Incredibly impactful, a missed opportunity.
The real footage of Lali and the interview is a million more times impactful than most of what they put in the movie.
Scenery was great, costumes great.. Make up Not so much. Directors could have gone a bit harder on it. If you've seen Real photos of Auschwitz it is Far far worse. They look like skeletons; they were so gaunt and malnourished. Should have portrayed that better.
I did like the story, but it felt too Disney-fied fairytale for me, glamourising it, making it a love story.
