Dealing with a momentous if little known incident in the history of the Czech resistance during World War II, Sean Ellis’ Anthropoid emerges as a docudrama of great and affecting quality.

Just wanted to bump this and bring some attention to this wonderful film. My wife and I watched this one over the weekend and found it to be absolutely excellent.

This is a piece of (pre)WW2 history I was completely oblivious to, and the filmmakers really pulled off a riveting re-telling of these events that I am thankful for being made aware of. That last half-hour was completely nerve-racking.

Great performances by Murphy and Dornan, and wonderful direction and staging all around (especially the
church siege
). Kudos to director Sean Ellis for the directorial restraint and respectful approach to depicting this story.
