Do NOT skip the first hour!

Contrary to many reviewer comments here, I strongly suggest NOT skipping the first half of this film. Yes, it's slow until the actual escape (not really a spoiler), but it's entirely necessary in order to get to know and care about our main characters and their horrifying life events. Without the build-up and the immersion, the movie's ending has no true value. As viewers, we HAVE to feel their sheer panic, their undeniable fear and, most importantly, their stunning bravery and determination in the face of certain death. If the very impressive acting and compelling cinematography isn't quite enough to hold your interest (this is NOT an "action movie", so don't expect one), then fast-forwarding through the second third is somewhat acceptable but still not what a true lover of good films would do.Loosely based on real events, I found this story to be engaging, heartbreaking, and well-photographed. The wardrobing is convincing, and the sound design and scoring are both low-key but effective, never detracting from the immersion. I'm honestly not familiar with any of the actors, but every one of them is good at what they do, especially our leads. I honestly felt drawn in and empathetic for them and their terrifying situation. This is powerful little movie that somehow slipped under my radar and apparently the radars of many others, which is a shame. Hopefully my silly little stream of it (along with this review) helps everyone involved with its production to further their careers. They made a good film.

I trembled when I learned of what this story had to tell

The world will tremble is a very apt name for this movie. There appear to be some anti Jewish votes in the ratings but go by the actual reviews of people who have seen it. Your political persuasion should not detract from the horrors this story reveals. When news of these events first reached the outside world nobody would have heard of such things other than in history books of eras long past. The story moves at a deliberate slow pace. That helps the viewer slowly come to terms with what was witnessed. You need to feel the emotion build up inside to really appreciate what you are in fact witnessing. There are hundreds of holocaust movies. This may be just another to the passing viewer but it is real and gritty and brutal. Don't expect to feel good afterwards. If you have one decent bone in your body you won't.

When Evil Smiles: Inside The World Will Tremble

The World Will Tremble isn't here to comfort you. It doesn't offer catharsis or release. It traps you in the raw, unrelenting despair of its characters, and that's precisely the point. Some critics have knocked it for being emotionally oppressive. I'd argue it's immersive. You don't watch this film, you endure it, the way its characters endured the unimaginable.Oliver Jackson-Cohen is phenomenal. His portrayal of a prisoner in the Chelmno extermination camp simmers with quiet despair. He doesn't need dramatic monologues. His performance is internal, bone-deep. You feel every ounce of exhaustion, fear, and spiritual collapse.And then there's Michael Epp as the Nazi camp commander. At first glance, his performance might seem theatrical, too stylized, too cold. But it slowly reveals itself as terrifyingly calculated. He radiates a kind of casual, almost gleeful evil that feels otherworldly until you remember this was real. His blissful detachment becomes the perfect counterpoint to Jackson-Cohen's torment-matching bliss for despair, beat for beat.Yes, the film is unrelentingly tense. Yes, it's emotionally exhausting. But when you're telling a story set in Chelmno, the first Nazi extermination camp-anything less would feel dishonest. The constant pressure is a narrative choice meant to evoke the psychological cage its characters can't escape.Critics may call it overacted or overwrought. I call it a punch to the soul-and that's exactly what it should be. This film doesn't aim to entertain. It aims to haunt. And it does.
