This was up for a foreign film Oscar last year - it was Germany's entry. It is set in the years before WW1 in a small German village. The children in this village are treated like crap, whether it's physical, mental or emotional abuse, or being worried about their next meal. They acting by these kids is amazing, but it was hard to watch.
I like a movie that leaves you guessing, but this one is nothing but loose ends. There is no resolution, no path to resolution, just an open-ended mystery. The entire effect was way too depressing for me.
