At what cost

 

The Survivor (2021)


Directed by Barry Levinson this film based on real events stars Ben Foster, Vicky Krieps and Billy Magnussen. A boxer in post war New York struggles to come to terms with what he had to do to survive the concentration camps in WW2.


You should watch this film for no other reason that Ben Foster gives a completely transformative performance in this film, Oscar worthy in my opinion. The script brings up some good questions about the cost of survival even if it does seem to stray from real events occasionally. A fascinating portrait of a man.


4/5
