Disappointment of a disappointment

Let Me Go (2017)

Written & directed by Polly Steele this film based on real events stars Juliet Stevenson, Jodhi May, Lucy Boynton and Karin Bertling. Four generations of women in the same family struggle to deal with the past deeds of the eldest and her unrepentant Nazism.

Unfortunately it seems this film strays greatly from the source material it is based on and does not do a good job of making the most of what it has either. What could have been a fascinating look at the multi generational consequences of hate is sadly poorly handled in a weak script. The cast is not too bad but ultimately this film was flawed from the start.


2/5
