Our take

Based on the bestselling novel by Tatiana de Rosney, this gripping Holocaust drama spans decades to unveil parallel, intertwined narratives. Starring a compelling Kristin Scott Thomas and heightened by Max Richter’s delicate score, Sarah’s Key is a poignant and crucial tale of perseverance.
