VHS Movie Reviews of The Promise

Movie Review: Gripping, moving, riveting political and emotional drama
Summary: 5 Stars

Beautifully done drama and thriller from von Trotta-- the back and forth from East to West Berlin will keep you on the edge.

I have read much on the Cold War, but this film puts it in very human terms, more than any academic historical account can. The scene where his son tied his shoe put a lump in my throat. I will never look at a manhole cover the same again.
