All 87 minutes of the film consists of interviews, with no inclination to stage it beyond the words acting as reveals of insightful new information.

A deceptively slender documentary that opens up enormous questions about guilt, forgiveness, and moral responsibility. It will stay with you.

The premise ... apparently so captivated SPOT's makers that they failed to notice the finished product's complete lack of insight.

It's not too often that one gets to have a conversation with someone who actually knew Adolf Hitler, let alone worked for the guy, but that's precisely what you'll find here.

You almost feel as if Satan's personal assistant had decided to pull up a chair and tell all. Is it possible not to be interested?

For Junge, even 60 years later she still has trouble forgiving the 22-year old woman she once was for being seduced by that influence.

Both a documentary and, for all intents and purposes, the last testament of a generation's tragic folly.

Makes us wonder, in a very human sense, about the various blinders we all adopt to make our peace with life.

Both mesmerizing and disquieting.
