Fails to be touching


Where Hands Touch (2018)

Written & directed by Amma Asante this film stars Amandla Stenberg, George MacKay, Abbie Cornish and Christopher Eccleston. A biracial girl living in Nazi Germany falls in love with a white boy who wants to go fight at the front.

To get the good out of the way it is important to see a light shined on some of the lesser known parts of the Nazi oppression in WW2. Unfortunately the plot of this film leaves a lot to be desired with the second half in particular feeling highly contrived. With a better script this could have been an important film.

2/5
