You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
真的是太棒太棒的表演，甚至可以说是去年全球范围里最好的女性电影表演。华丽、动情，如上帝附体。带着极大陌生感的同时又让人对这个神婆充满了戏剧的共情。What a superb Jessica！
不是这部片子都不知道有Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker这两个人，都不知道有PTL电视台，aka Praise The Lord。
人物动机愚蠢剧情推进靠巧合，展开太一般了%

有个评论说什么厌男呵呵，男的基本盘就这样，拍出来就只敢说厌男也不敢说这是假的吧。哈哈哈
一开始觉得是小男人和美国甜心的组合，可看着看着真的被Tammy faye吸引过去了。她真的相信和热爱自己的工作，要是她生活在现在，也许会更自由更成功，会更早从丈夫带给她的痛苦中走出来吧。演的好。
最后的1/3不要太棒！！！2022/7/5大森家
传记片，女主很好，是独特的魅力，尤其出轨一段从录音棚靠着门划走，魅力十足，比较喜欢的情节，出轨片段拍的太像爱情了，男的扶着她的脖颈，问另一个他会不会用你喜欢的，值得的方式touch you，然后丈夫男同的第一次出场，用了女主对男主说的同样的话，宗jiao之余zhengzhi，无信仰国家都懂
蜘蛛侠2和一个得了黄疸的巫婆满美国的24H唱福音唱出了个女主角提名
并不差！两个过度自爱到走火入魔的人，如何创业，如何对抗，如何瓦解，最后找到平衡点。非常喜欢女主身上的多样面！她也演的太好啦！感觉加菲有时候都接不上她的对手戏，但这还是他去年演过最好的作品。喜欢Jessica Chastain对Tammy Feye的诠释！喜欢她们俩有魔力的眼睛！
很平很平的那类传记片，甚至有一些桥段和去年的朱迪如出一辙，然而却没了那种感动人的力量，之前朱迪专注了人物的一个状态去描绘，而本片像是流水账，虽然长了，但是也散了。此外劳模姐的表演确实不错，那种爱慕虚荣却又极度自卑的个性，会让你相信这是一个真的人而不是演出。
That’s why we need to ban 传销.
水准绝对在，但这种人物传记，真实记录片肯定冲击更大，印象深的地方是对自我沉醉的刻画，一直在做作的状态下，以至于越来越分不清“真我”，把自己抽空了。
一个仿佛糅合了去年《偷窥者》和《门锁》要素的故事，整体行进得有些按部就班。最先是烘托女主角在陌生国度的种种处境，对语言的不熟悉、不被相信的遭遇诉说以及失踪的邻居和再次引起怀疑的心；接着是扑空和“狼来了”的转折，末尾则指向必须解决的痛快。尽管所有的过程都几乎能想象，但透过公寓内外、街角前后的空间展示或是借由与伴侣相处的生活状态从而烘托的无助还是足够行之有效；它没有给予更复杂、更大的展示，但却做好了自己想要完成的事。
其實最後的結局已經不重要，單是在他鄉異國陌生環境語言不通丈夫只顧著工作對妻子的無所適從，彷徨不安無動於衷已經很能給人共感，如果能結束在地下鐵可能更能留有餘韻，但最後這手反殺＋丈夫目睹更能完整的展示出這類女性電影的定性結局，倒也和導演上一部短片的結局相得益彰
怎么又是传记，今年的奥斯卡片子故事性太差了。看着熟悉的男女主角化妆成原型，面目全非！
6分。气氛渲染还算可以，但家庭主妇啥都不干还跑到个完全不懂语言的环境里去，整天神经兮兮的生活有意思么？拜托耕地的时候拉个窗帘行不？最后的所谓反杀真的是笑死了，竟然靠的是装死？？？你敢不敢拍成其实凶手根本就是个普通人？？？
加菲猫一如既往的稳定，不过这个片子还是很平庸，犯了纪实片的通病
男人这尼玛气人，结局可以的，就是不懂女主怎么站起来的。
平庸的传记片，与近些年来的名人传记片一样，演员的表演成了唯一的亮点，剧情稀碎，重点模糊。影片意图讲述主人公在信仰的成长和利益的冲突面前所经历的起伏人生，但她对传教的独到心得、对信仰的复杂态度却没有呈现出来，而是本末倒置地过多展示她失败的婚姻，缺少打动人心的点。但劳模姐毁容式的表演的确值得一尊奥斯卡。
