The evolution of Wiesler as he begins to empathize with his subjects exposes the beauty of compassion in a seemingly heartless world.
Brings back memories of the tension between East And West Germany , Worth watching!!
Unusual story about East Germany, and sentimental ending... Great job from Germany film industry
The transformation of the lead character is a bit too sudden, but a really nice film with a lot of heart.
The run time hurts an otherwise masterfully made movie. Great acting, good story, difficult to believe this type of thing really occurred.
Big Brother is watching but it leads to wonderful twists. Fine acting and script. Watch it!
Really interesting and gripping film. Definitely worth a watch
Dour film about E. German spy who eavesdrops on an artist. Quiet & intense film depicts how a spy can lose his soul & destroy the innocent.
This is how people head to revolution and how dictators and politicians react. A true story which for sure had happened all over the world.
Creepy, psychological, warped, and everything in between. Just weird. But timeless nonetheless.
