The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008)

Cast: Asa Butterfield (Bruno), Zac Mattoon O'Brien (Leon), Domonkos Nemeth (Martin), Henry Kingsmill (Karl)
For complete info, see IMDb's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas page.

I don't want to give anything about this movie away, so I won't say much about it. My aunt told me to see this and that it was pretty depressing (so not a great movie to watch right before bed). She was completely right on both counts.

This movie is about a young boy who befriends a Jewish boy across the fence from him in a concentration camp. It's very moving and (as with all movies from this time in history) very sad. I definitely recommend renting this and watching it during the daytime when you can watch something cheery or do something fun afterwards to take your mind off of the disturbing movie.

Grade: B+
