It's a harrowing walk through the heart of darkness.
Saskia Rosendahl gives an impressively poised performance as the beautiful teenager, whose determination to protect her remaining family coincides with her growing revulsion toward her parents.
"Lore" is not a pretty story, but it is a good and sadly believable one.
"Lore" is not a love story, nor the story of a friendship. Rather, it's a story of healing and of how breaking, sometimes painfully, is often necessary before that process can begin.
A fiercely poetic portrait of a young woman staggering beyond innocence and denial, it's about the wars that rage within after the wars outside are lost.
Full of surprises, the movie draws a thin line between pity and revulsion - how would you feel if you had discovered your whole life had been based on lies?
Texture and detail embellish a provocative story
Child of Nazi parents faces an uncertain future
[Director Cate] Shortland directs with an almost hypnotic focus, favoring Lore's immediate experience over the big picture.
Rosendahl's performance is raw and compelling, as Lore fights for her siblings' survival and grows up in a hurry.
Lore and her siblings make a harrowing journey across Germany
Worthwhile, but so subtle that it's frustrating.
The Australian-German co-production takes an unconventional tale and turns it into a challenging, visually stunning and emotionally turbulent film experience.
Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go. Except this ain't no fairy tale... unless it is, perhaps, a hint of the beginnings of a new mythology of ... scary childhood and even scarier adolescence...
With a child's perspective on war, "Lore" deserves comparisons with "Empire of the Sun" and "Hope and Glory," and with a feisty female protagonist it stands virtually alone.
Rosendahl...provides both narrative and emotional continuity to a film whose deliberate pace and fragmented presentation of reality might otherwise prove exasperating.
A burning portrait of consciousness and endurance, gracefully acted and strikingly realized, producing an honest sense of emotional disruption, while concluding on a powerful note of cultural and familial rejection.
Although there are moments that push the story a bit beyond credulity, Shortland has created something remarkable by forcing us to find within ourselves sympathy for this would-be Aryan princess.
Stunning, admirable and indelible - truthfully chronicling the triumph of the human spirit - in a class with Michael Haneke's 'The White Ribbon.'
Can we spare some sympathy or hope for the children of villains, even if they too show signs of their parents' evil? Lore provides no easy answers.
The portrait is miniature and yet indelible, a ghostly reminder of the 20th century.

LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenia will not be the next euro member to need a financial rescue as it can afford to wait for lower borrowing costs before issuing new debt, its top economic official said on Friday.
The new center-left government was widely expected to raise money on financial markets shortly after taking office on March 20 but has not done so because Slovenia's borrowing costs have soared due to the turmoil in Cyprus.
Investors are betting that Slovenia, another tiny member of Europe's currency zone with a population of just 2 million, will also need a rescue to keep its banks and economy afloat.
Last week, Cyprus became the fifth euro member to receive financial help from Brussels to survive a regional debt crisis.
While Slovenia's banks are also in trouble the sector is smaller than in Cyprus and it does not share the exposure to toxic Greek debt and Finance Minister Uros Cufer said his country did not need help.
"We will need no bailout this year," he said. "I am calm."
Like many other euro zone members, Slovenia is in recession, with slowing exports to its neighbors and high unemployment.
It last issued a bond in October last year before the conservative government collapsed over a corruption scandal in January and was this month replaced by the new center-left cabinet of Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek.
Analysts were expecting a swift debt issue from the government but yields have jumped. The 2021 bond yield rose to 6.06 percent on Friday, from 5.45 a week ago.
The International Monetary Fund says Slovenia will need to raise at least 3 billion euros this year for the budget, debt repayment and the bank overhaul, and former Prime Minister Janez Jansa has said Slovenia must issue debt by June.
But Cufer said Slovenia, a mountainous country on the Adriatic neighbored by Austria, Italy, Croatia and Hungary, was not in a hurry.
"We do not have to go to the markets in these overheated times due to Cyprus," he said. "We can wait for the markets to calm down, for the investors to feel comfortable about our action and then we will tap the market."
BAD BANK
He said the government would launch a "bad bank" by September that would take over a part of 7 billion euros in bad loans from the three main banks, all of which are in majority or large state ownership.
The banks would then require up to 1 billion euro ($1.28 billion) in a capital injection, which Cufer said Slovenia could raise later this year via a bond, part of the total 3 billion in planned debt issuance for this year.
With successive governments citing national interests, Slovenia was the only ex-communist state that refused to sell its largest lenders ahead of EU entry last decade, creating a toxic combination of political control and poor management in banks that backfired when the economy went downhill in 2009.
The global financial crisis ended years of fast growth and indiscriminate lending that included loans worth a reported 187 million euros from one bank to the largest builder, SCT, which went bankrupt after a collapse in real estate and construction.
Many other highly leveraged local companies went bust, sticking banks with more bad loans that combined amount to about a fifth of the economy.
Cufer, 42, took part in shaping the bad bank under a plan launched by the previous conservative government on the side of the biggest lender, Nova Ljubljanska Banka (NLB), where he worked as head of financial management.
He said the bad bank had already been established and would be fully operational "surely in a few months, definitely by the start of September".
Along with the 1 billion euros to shore up their balance sheets this year, the lenders will swap bad loans in exchange for state-guaranteed bonds issued by the bad bank, he said.
NO BANK SALES SOON
Cufer said the banks were now worth 10-20 percent of their book value, which would be 25 to 50 million euros, and the government would wait until they were recapitalized and markets stabilized before sells them into private hands.
"Now is not the appropriate time to sell. Selling at these prices makes no sense... Even next year is very optimistic," he said.
Cufer tried to stress that unlike Cyprus - where banking assets were seven times larger than the economy, as opposed to about 1.3 times for Slovenia - Ljubjana could handle its problems on its own.
"Slovenia cannot be compared to Cyprus, it is certainly not a tax haven... the basic problem of the banks in Slovenia is too much debt in companies and a lack of capital," he said.
To offset the costs of bank cleanup, the government will step up the sale of state companies rather than pursue the type of austerity measures that have deepened economic downturns in Greece, Portugal and other struggling states.
He declined to name what companies could be privatized but said they would continue with the program of the previous government. He added there would be at least "one major privatization" by the end of the year.
The last government was mulling selling stakes in telecoms operator Telekom Slovenia, insurer Zavarovalnica Triglav and fuel retailer Petrol. ($1 = 0.7788 euros)

To be honest, it does bother me in that Ibby is a guy who's just looking for an education. I know he doesn't help our team, but it would have been nice to get him academic schollies so he could get his UI degree.
Maybe he should just drop hoops and try to stay at Illinois with some combination of aid.

Good. Get rid of another one of Weber's mistakes.
I hope he lands on his feet and gets his education but he should never have been offered a basketball scholarship.

Do we have any basis for believing the "just for the education" line? B/c I remember hearing that CJ Jackson was just "happy to be on the team," and then he went to the football team, an NAIA school in Hawaii and now he's at his 4th stop in Europe. Obviously, he had more of a drive to play basketball than anyone at Illinois claimed.
Ibby may want to play basketball, but it's clear Illinois isn't going to be the place regardless. Djimde was a big reach by Weber, a recruit who was taken because there was a present concern on the team with "toughness" and Weber had a sincere desire to damage class balance and stack guys 4-deep on certain depth chart slots.
I wish him well, but it's probably for the best for both parties.

Good point, I'm just projecting based on blurbs and I shouldn't have done that. Good post.

Wish the kid all the best. I am confused, though. Was Weber and staff under the understanding that he just wanted a degree and all agreed he was not a high D1 player?

This makes me a bit sad for him, but that is what needed to be done. It'll probably work out just fine for him in the end. I'm sure he'll remember his good times here.
Good luck Ibby!
Ultimately what I'll remember about him was when I would have my young niece go over the yearly b-ball poster to learn the guys names before the season started, of course "Ibby" was a favorite!

I really don't think there is going to be the attrition that people think there is going to be. I think that this one was a no brainer. The young man under no circumstances was going to see any court time.
The others that have been discussed, Henry and Shaw, I don't know. I see Henry staying. Next year, we don't have anybody else like him on our roster, less maybe....Hill? He has to know that as a Junior that has produced, he has a GOLDEN opportunity to take the bull by the balls and be a major, major contributor next year on a team that is going to sorely lack scoring threats, at that position, from the perimeter. Now, he'll have to put the time in and I'm sure Groce is clear about that, but I'd be pretty surprised if Groce was nudging him out the door. The guy has shown that he is a talent, shooting and rebounding the basketball.
That moves us to Shaw. My issue with him is that he doesn't look overly athletic. That said, with McLauren gone, who else on this roster has the body to at least clear people out. McLauren didn't do much offensively, but he at least cleared space. Isn't that all we'd be looking for out of a guy like Shaw? There is no way that you can leave that job to a Freshman. I don't care what people think of Morgan or Colbert, but you just don't run a legit 6'8" player off the team, who did see some time here and there, in favor of two unproven commodities.
The wild card is the success this team had. Maybe, just maybe, these kids had fun last year and want to be part of a rebuilding process? Maybe that have relationships with some of the kids coming in? Maybe they like the coaching staff and the school?
Djimde(sp?), is an out of state guy who it makes sense that he move closer to home to surround himself with family, friends and find a fit. I'm not so sure that the, what will be Juniors next year, are going to be pushed out or will want out. I'm not so sure we all aren't rushing to judgement.

Hardly anyone has mentioned Henry as a transfer possibility. Langford is a way more likely candidate.

I think they truly believed that they thought this guy was going to come in and basically do what McClauren did. Get some minutes, provide toughness, be active on both boards and provide a big body that would help them match up better with the MSU's and Wisconsin's of the world.
Weber was a big fan of going after the under the radar, work-a-holic, all out effort guys. Chester Frazier is his kind of guy and that is the kind of guy he can coach. I think that's what he sees in guys like Ibby, Mike Davis, the kid from Crete, etc...Unfortunately, it doesn't translate real well when putting together a high D-1 program.

I don't know how realistic it is or was, but Myke Henry has been a prominent name in almost every transfer thread for the past two years.

Again, Langford sat out his Freshman year and redshirted. He still has three years of eligibility. He has a huge opportunity next year as well. Now, if he gets buried on the depth chart next year, I'd put him in the Djimde category after next year, but he had to know his minutes were going to be limited last year given the roster.
As a reshirt Junior, I'm not sure it's in his best interest to leave. I would think that with Paul, DJ and Griffey all gone, he owes it to himself to give it a real shot next year and then if it doesn't work out, transfer. This team doesn't have a bevvy of proven 6'5'' to 6'7'' swingmen. If it were you, don't you think you would owe it to yourself to give it one big swing of the bat to play on this team, in arguably the best conference in the country, on TV, in front of 16,000 fans, with a known coaching staff, players you have a relationship with, knowing that the possibility still exists that you don't have to go through the whole transfer process and sit out ANOTHER year? Seems to me like it would be worth one more shot.

That is correct. He was the biggest name, due to the lack of significant playing time.

Henry has a big opportunity next year, I don't see him transferring. I kind of hope Langford doesn't either. His length and athleticism still intrigue me. With some court time he could be a player that brings some good defense and fast break opportunities. Also, he's got a younger brother that's supposed to be 5 star quality.

Agreed. Let Shaw go and keep the rest. That would give us two more scholarships to play with for 5th year guys and 2014s.

Ibby (along with Henry and Paul) were Big Ten Academic All-American. Weber might have given Ibby a scholarship to help the team GPA. Just a thought.

I had heard Ibby was going to graduate next year anyway. But when you don't play but maybe 10 minutes the whole year it is time to go if you want to play somewhere. From what I understand even academic scholorships count toward the basketball team if a player is receiving some kind of aid. I could be wrong.
I think Shaw leave before Henry as I don't see him playing much next year either. They need at least one more to get the guys they want from the '14 class.
