*****
There are some great films and plays based on The White Rose movement but I think it's important to remember that this film is based purely on the manuscripts found from Sophie Scholl's interrogation and that it is this focus of story that makes it stand out from the rest. It is a near as possible reenactment of her last days, her actions and her words. The story has been respected as have the people and indeed history. An important story, directed beautifully and with strong performances by Mohr and particularly by Jentsch who's praise is rightfully deserved.
