The film came out here in Chicago a few weeks ago and I got to see it yesterday. It is bleak, and personally I didn't feel anything for it. Perhaps I'm getting too detached but it's been awhile since these type of manipulative films have been able to affect me. I must say that Fateless wasn't as deliberate attempt at sentimentality as other holocaust films, but I can't say it offered anything new or vital about the situation. The story has been told, and I feel like I've gained nothing from having seen this film. The film is good, but it's unoriginal and derivative of many other films of a similar nature.
