Just finished watching *The Boy in the Woods* and wow—what a powerful film. As someone who loves historical dramas, this one hit me hard. It's based on a true story of survival during the Holocaust, and the resilience shown by the young boy is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
The pacing keeps you engaged, and the cinematography captures the bleakness of the era perfectly. I appreciated that it didn't shy away from the harsh realities but also didn't rely on shock value. The emotional weight is carried by the storytelling itself.
One thing I loved? No unnecessary Hollywood flair. It felt raw and authentic, which made the ending even more impactful. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in WWII history or human resilience stories.
Side note: Not a 'light' watch—grab tissues. 4.5/5 stars from me!
