My Name Is Sara

A worthy addition to the seemingly endless string of fact-inspired, Holocaust stories that have vitally found their way to the big and small screens.

While the suspense and power of her story come through, the film can be clunkily expository and, with regard to tensions between Sara and Pavlo, frustratingly vague.

It’s an inherently tense, engrossing story...

It's a compelling story, but I just wish it had been given a better telling.

Steven Oritt's film ... [is] a suspenseful study of a teenage girl's ability to adapt herself to her surroundings ... in order to stay alive.

Absorbing, realistically touching story of how a Jewish girl faced daily fear amidst Holocaust in Ukraine with amazing pluck and determination.

Often stilted, meandering and dull.
