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!
即便是新人立足社会都足够艰难，更别说犯过罪被打上烙印的前科犯重返社会了。女主演技太好。
7点5分吧，剧情少有点刻意，再打磨打磨就好了。布洛克演技真不错
更生人的故事。女主角演技很強，還是會有...一開始就坦承說出一切真的比較好...的感覺。復仇兄弟戴綠帽那段太灑狗血了，覺得很瞎

全片压抑，一个挣扎的想要恢复生活的人，被一群不希望她恢复的人拉着回到泥潭。最后结局还有个小反转，人性的光辉最后胜出
1，剧作结构太出彩，2，桑德拉的演技为反转的一刻增添了很厚重的人物悲剧色彩。
不知怎的，真实的戏路很熟悉，但又好像离真实查了一口气
女主那入木三分的演技，妹妹那无声催泪的拥抱。真是一部好电影。不过，这片的悲剧难道不还是枪支泛滥的问题吗？一把枪如此明显地放在靠墙位置，还上了镗。一个五岁小妹娃也可以举起来轰掉警察。不可饶恕的应该是美 国军火商和永远禁不掉的枪支问题 。
桑德拉布洛克的表演无可挑剔，甚至比今届入围奥斯卡影后的多数人演的更好，真相揭开的时候，阴差阳错之下Ruth为妹妹付出的一生的代价让人心疼。片子探讨了有犯罪前科，尤其是杀人案底（何况是杀警察）的刑满释放人员在底层顶着社会刻板印象的标签寸步难行的生活困境，以及附着在其上的世态炎凉。红脖、白左再到少数族裔，不同的阶层对待底层投射着各自的成见，但是讽刺的是，假若女主并非被洗白的那样无辜，他们的成见难道不也是一种自我保护或是追求结果正义的方式吗？只能说，在美国这样族群对立日益激化的现实之下，人们为了安全，都会越发极端和敏感，不是局中人，并不能简单地说是对是错。
苦情，不过是在亲情上。桑德拉演技是好的，心近如死灰，受尽屈辱和摧残，忍辱负重的样子还是很有说服力的。就是剧情本身的基点，如果当时不去顶罪，以妹妹的年龄根本无须承担多少责任，本来就是一个意外，隐姓埋名，带着妹妹远走他乡，陪伴和照顾她成长不是更好吗？
描述底层白人真实冰冷的生活，充满爱和挣扎。桑德拉·布洛克会是今年奥斯卡最佳女主吧 演技绝了
生而为人真可怜 可怜又真实 每一个人都是对的 每一个立场都无法反驳
桑德拉与迈克尔，晚年撞脸，我是如何都回避不了！但戏是好戏，剧情苦涩，加上反转，让女主命运更加曲折！温情之余感叹爱之伟大！
桑德拉布洛克的每个角色都像是在演自己，没有兄弟姐妹的人泪点都被引爆，只想说声姐姐你辛苦了……
桑德拉的表演隐忍、沉重，背负了太多的责任和爱，这才是真正的投入角色，一个悲伤的故事，生活总要继续。
后面的反转会让前面流于表面的剧情合理且深刻。
看完觉得不错 细想又有种不知道电影想表达什么的感觉
SB的演技再好（加一星），也扛不住剧情基本设定的问题。SB真人比她妹妹大30年。就算剧情以中年设定，40多岁，坐牢时也20多。5岁女孩误杀应该是不需付法律责任的。而她做为监护人，考虑当时的情景，最多也就几年。完全没有必要去顶罪，然后妹妹被领养，却又一直不甘心。描述狱后重生困境和黑人偏见也（加一星），不能更多了。
法律是块冰铁，好人也受累。
各大营销号的吹水，其实也就是一般，真的审美疲劳，影业的质量不行，这是一部为获奖而存在的电影，所以在我这种大众眼里，一般。曾经的演员、演技派要么人至中年要么老年暮霭，要么息影要么偶尔客串，新晋的连何为幽默活力都不明所以，嬉笑胡闹的新生代，电影圈也是青黄不接，宁愿《东城梦魇》肥温的压抑，也不喜欢桑德拉的这张苦瓜脸。替稚幼的妹妹背锅20载，了不起的亲情！
