"Bye Bye Germany," a refreshingly original, unpredictable tale about Jews trying to scam their way out of postwar Europe, is part caper, part Holocaust drama, part buddy movie, part romance, and part melancholic comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 2, 2018

Though the film might ultimately be a little too neat, that shortcoming is made up for by the core performances.

Not your typical Holocaust-inspired drama.

Decent performances and good intentions can't compensate for a sense of airlessness, reinforced by the kind of ersatz period detailing that makes this costume drama feel so very costume-y.

[Bye Bye Germany] tells an unusual story with gusto, enlivened by an enjoyable performance from Moritz Bleibtreu.
