The Lives of Others is the best movie I’ve seen since Amadeus. I won’t attempt to summarize, but I will share my comment regarding a story that starts in 1984: “It wasn’t that long ago.” See the film, and you’ll understand. Wow.
Metacritic score of 89, 54th on the all-time list. Admittedly, all-time doesn’t go back through the entire history of film, but still an interesting list.
