It is probably easy to pick holes in this adaptation but it is still a compelling piece of storytelling

Tattooist of Auschwitz stands apart from the crowd, thanks in part to the quality of its performances, not just by documenting the barbarity of the Nazis but the sprigs of humanity that managed to bloom during the darkest of times.

Showing war crimes for future generations is a necessary thing, although the series could have had a better script, but ignoring the shortcomings, it can be considered a valuable piece of furniture.

I am happy that they made this movie, I have read this first 100-page book of a larger series.
They have minimized some characters like Clika, which is the continuation of the story of the girl who was sent to the soviet gulag for 12 years after the commies liberated Auscvitz!
I don't think they will continue, because showing the abuses of the socialists is a taboo subject!
I highly recommend the books, there short but it feels like you're transported there, and everything the protagonist goes through is like you instead.

If "The Tattooist" doesn’t quite register as an Uplifting Testament to the Power of the Human Spirit — to its credit, I’d say — it’s an honorable project, honorably made, moving at times, horrifying at others, in broad strokes and small details.

It’s a sobering chronicle of a romance surrounded by death that’s, by virtue of its subject, more affecting than entertaining. It’s also slow-paced, suggesting the story may have been better told as a compact feature film rather than the drawn-out miniseries that has all episodes now streaming on Peacock.

The Peacock miniseries takes seriously the responsibility to bear witness. But the gravity of a noble mission can also become an albatross. In spite of the touching romance at its heart, The Tattooist of Auschwitz feels like a means of conveying an urgent message, rather than a story to get swept up in for its own sake.

Yes, it’s a love story, but while love may conquer all, it can’t in this instance capture the horror of the conditions in which it flowered, much less rise above it.

Jonah Hauer-King plays the young Lale, and he doesn’t have the depth that the role demands. He recently played the prince in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and that suited him better. Polish actress Anna Próchniak does her best with the thin character of Gita. As the saccharine Heather, Melanie Lynskey’s only job is to look soppy and tearful at regular intervals when the story cuts back to the present day.

Excellent moving drama. Superb performances from all involved. Another reminder if one were needed of the evil that men can do to each other.
