Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, this comedic drama has a simple plot of cousins going on a tour to Poland to see where she grew up and survived the holocaust. With an intimate group going through different historical spots, the fact and brutal history of those day was indeed a very sensitive topic to depict in film. However, they did give justice on how to show them without giving way to their own story.
It was good that they kept the group small yet each having unique charm and stories, yet it also paves way for the cousins David and Benjie (Jesse & Kieran) to shine in times of tension and calmness. Both show polar opposite personalities which causes conflict and mishaps in their trip.
Yet we also see the bond between family which leads them to forgive and connect with each other. There is also the feeling on how moving the remnants of the genocide was, even with silence speaks out the horrors of those days and should never happen again.
