Summary: Miracle at Midnight
Review: : The movie "Miracle at Midnight", directed by Ken Cameron, is about one family's effort to save Jews in Denmark. The father of this family, Dr. Karl Koster, works at the local hospital. When he hears his Jewish friends are going to be deported by the Nazis, he starts hiding them in the hospital. Meanwhile, his son, Henrik Koster, a university student, joins the local resistance. At home, Karl and his family hide the local Rabbi, Ben Abrams, and his family. Eventually Karl is able to secretly send the Jews, hiding in the hospital, into Switzerland on fishing boats. Karl and his family have to flee to Switzerland because the Nazis found out what he was doing, but Mrs. Koster was taken by the Nazis.
It is very exciting and is extremely tense in several scenes. Which literally makes you sit on the edge of your seat. The movie moves along at a good pace and is only an hour and a half. The plot is quite interesting.

Summary: Spectacular preformance, Outstanding script, Fabulous video
Review: Excellent! This is a very true to life movie about what happened during world war II in Denmark. It shows how people got involved and made a difference in the lives of many others. It shows a rich history that the Danish can be proud of in saving the Jews from concentration camps. Unlike Schindler's list this movie is appropriate for preteen children to watch.

Summary: Spectacular preformance, Outstanding script, Fabulous video
Review: I love anything there is to do with the Holocaust and I've seen many movies, read many books on the subject. But this is one the the best vidoes on the subject I have ever seen! I love it! There is no better way to put it! Many times, Disney has been far below my standards of a good movie, but this is better that regularly high rated movie productions. Few books,or movies, successfully protray what happened to Denmark during WWII and before, if at all, but this beautifully shows how hard it was to stay alive in that time in the world, especially Europe. The actors and actresses were wonderful and convincing. This is a movie that.... I will be proud to have apart of my Holocuast book/movie collection. This is a must see for a person of any age. Thank you for such a tear-jerking, chair-gripping work of art.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I was learning about the Holocaust in school and the teacher showed us this movie. I loved it so much that I bought it so I could show it to my little brother (he is 11, this movie may not be suitable for under 10 due to suicide, gunfire, ect.) mom and dad. This is a movie that shows a good glimpse of the Holocaust without being graphic. It is a must-see movie. It made me WANT to come to school!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Touching, Uplifting Movie
Review: The story of Christian Danes who risked their lives to save their Jewish fellow citizens from the Holocaust is not well known. This movie tells the story of one such Danish family, their struggles against Nazis and collaborators, and their efforts to save Danish Jews. Sam Waterston and Mia Farrow give outstanding performances. The story is gripping. More important, it will touch your heart.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Miracle Movie
Review: This movie is one of the best tv movies I've ever seen. It's based on truth, and I like that in a movie. Mia Farrow is great as the Jewish mother. Rent it or buy it, you'll love this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A time we must not forget.
Review: This movie was amazing and well acted. Mia Farrow and Sam Waterston do a great job of making us understand that the Danes protected their Jewish neighbors and friends at great risk to themselves. It is a movie that I recommend be shown in high schools. We cannot forget the past and the sacrifices that ordinary people made during this period in history.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great entertainment, yet more than that
Review: This was a very captivating movie.
A Danish family becomes involved in helping Jews. The son (Henrik) is in the resistance and keeps it a secret from his family, sure they would forbid him to continue because of the danger.
The father, a doctor, decides he must do what he can to help the Jews when he hears of the news of the Germans coming to route out and kill Jews. He hides a family (friends of theirs) in the attic.
There are many tense and action-packed scenes. The acting is great.
I wish the people didn't feel they had to lie to save the Jews, though. (Corrie Ten Boom is a good example of someone who hid Jews and told the truth, being put in a concentration camp herself. What strong belief that is.)
There were also a couple of kisses (if you worry about that kind of thing), but nothing more than that.
Overall I give this movie a solid thumbs up and it is a striking example of the bravery of many people during the war. (A four and a half would be more my rating. I usually vote on the low side of things, leaving room for movies that are the absolute best.)
