Shoah Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooDecember 4, 2025I applaud this in depth, multi-sided account. Could be 6 hours with edit that cut translation time, long landscape shots & added visual aid.
- hamedtahaSeptember 13, 2025While “Shoah” is a visually striking and deeply moving cinematic achievement, its length can be quite overwhelming, and the documentary relies almost exclusively on interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, presenting very little direct documentary evidence or archival footage to support their testimonies. Although the suffering described is undoubtedly horrific, some viewers might find it difficult to fully accept every detail as historically accurate due to the lack of corroborating documentation within the film. This approach does not dismiss the reality or gravity of their experiences, but it does leave room to question certain claims or the sheer scale of events, especially since the film does not attempt to contrast testimony with original records or material evidence. In general, engaging with well-restored historical films in 4K is enjoyable, but for subjects like the Holocaust, a greater emphasis on evidence and verification can be important for those who wish to fully understand and critically examine historical facts.
