Spect.Viewers generally found 'Elle s'appelait Sarah' deeply moving and emotionally charged, effectively intertwining two narratives across different timelines. The film's portrayal of historical events and personal drama captivated many, though some felt the pacing was slow and the acting subpar. The dual storyline of Sarah's tragic past and a journalist's present-day investigation was praised for keeping the audience engaged, despite some criticism about the relevance of the modern subplot.
👍 Effective intertwining of dual narratives

On the night of 16 July 1942, ten year old Sarah and her parents are being arrested and transported to the Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris where thousands of other jews are being sent to get deported. Sarah however managed to lock her little brother in a closet just before the police entered their apartment. Sixty years later, Julia Jarmond, an American journalist in Paris, gets the assignment to write an article about this raid, a black page in the history of France. She starts digging archives and through Sarah's file discovers a well kept secret about her own in-laws.

Très émouvant...sur la sombre histoire du vel d'hiv
Très veau film et j'adore cette actrice
Très bon film sur l'enquête d'une journaliste sur la rafle du Veld'hiv et le lien d'une adresse d'un immeuble à Paris avec l'histoire de Sarah en 1942 et les conséquences sur sa vie future. 😘 A noter le résumé de Mémoriser n est pas celui du film 🙃
