Swing Kids [Region 2] description This strange movie with a niche subject--jazz-loving, dance-loving German kids persecuted by Hitler's men--almost works, thanks to a good cast who seem devoted to the unusual story line. Director Thomas Carter doesn't bring the necessary stylistic oomph to the musical sequences, something that might have pushed the whole production to another, more interesting level of Hollywood dream. Kenneth Branagh makes a particularly effective, wolf-in-sheep's-clothing Nazi official. --Tom Keogh Swing Kids [Region 2] Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Not fantastic, but has some good elements What's not fantastic: some of the overemoting; some of the very obvious points made about the dangers of National Socialism and the Hitler Youth. What's good and makes it worth seeing: great dance and music scenes which take place more or less in secret, like speakeasies and raves; a largely unknown historical subject; the concept that those who believe in freedom must be willing to take chances and risks to maintain it even in the face of danger and persecution.   1     2     3   Non User
