This movie was interesting. And although there is no shortage of films/documentaries on the infamous Aryans, to my knowledge, not a lot of them have focused on the trials at Nuremberg.
It was great to get to peek behind the curtain and see some of the inner workings of the Nuremberg proceedings. I just wished it would have focused a little more on the trial itself, instead of on the minutiae of Ben Ferencz's life.
Yes, yes, I know it's a biography on the man. I know that it'd be a blow to his legacy to reduce his biopic into a giant courtroom film, but that's where I wanted it to dwell the most. Because, after all, it was an unprecedented trial that needs more coverage.
But you could tell the nitty-gritty details were difficult to relive, so I respect the man for everything he could share on camera. It took a lot of cajones.
