    This was a bizarre documentary and really got under my skin. Hearing former SS officers, soldiers, and civilians talk about their roles in Nazi Germany was both fascinating and deeply unsettling. What struck me most was how many of them either downplayed their involvement or claimed they had no choice. Some showed remorse, but others spoke with an eerie detachment, as if they were just bystanders to history rather than active participants. That kind of rationalization is what makes this…

    The Electric State

    ★★½

    I was really looking forward to “The Electric State,” but it left me underwhelmed. The concept had so much potential—a retro-futuristic 1990s America, a girl on a journey to find her missing brother, and a world filled with massive, decaying robots. It’s exactly the kind of sci-fi world I love to get lost in. But while the film delivers on visuals, it completely misses the emotional depth that could have made it great.

    The production design is fantastic, with a…
