When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

In this film we see that the humanity and understanding Judith Kerr kept intact in her warm heart are sensitively portrayed by director Caroline Link and her talented cast.

Overall, it just didn't seem as if there was enough real danger happening in this movie given what it's really about.

A moving but unsentimental WWII exodus story...

In this bright, engaging film, Kerr's story is faithfully and lovingly preserved, though its tougher, quirkier details are mollified by a layer of palatable movie gloss.

The film strains to inject even a modicum of drama.

A handsomely produced but modest effort that addresses important historical subjects sensitively but truthfully.

A beautifully acted, poignant coming-of-age refugee drama that shows the harrowing life during wartime without being overly somber and depressing.

The drama, well-acted and filled both dramatic tension and familial warmth, follows the family's journey as refugees wandering through Europe...

We as the audience are so invested in the whole family getting to safety that we are made to feel a surprising spectrum of emotions through the storytelling and performances.

For those who don't know children's author Judith Kerr, German director Caroline Link provides an absorbing introduction with her elegant adaptation of Kerr's highly regarded, autobiographical children's novel.
