Editor’s note
Should you watch Schindler's List?
Schindler's List is best suited to a slower, character-led evening. At 3h 15m, it is a long sitting, so plan the evening around it. The draw is Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley, directed by Steven Spielberg.
With 18,135 TMDB ratings averaging 8.6/10, this is one of the most widely seen titles in our library, so the score is a reliable signal.
TMDB tags the film with themes including factory, hero, nazi and concentration camp.
The US certification is R: restricted: it contains material intended for adults, including strong language or violence.
If you like this, try Oppenheimer, The Pianist or Grave of the Fireflies.
