Wunderkinder

At the centre of this lyrical, deeply tragic film are the children, beautifully played by Elin Kolev as Abrasha Brodsky, the most gifted of all, Imogen Burrell as Larissa Brodsky and Mathilda Adamik as Hanna Reich, the middle class German girl who stands the best chance of survival. Above all Wunderkinder is a furious, terrifying thriller, where the chases must all have the deadliest of consequences.

Ruby Sparks

This is a beautifully conceived and wildly playful movie based on a thin but lovely premise and acted out by so many fine young actors that its whole is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
