About This Movie
Alice Sommer: Everything Is a Present is one of those documentaries that really digs deep into the human spirit. It’s about Alice Sommer Herz, a pianist who lived through the Holocaust and used music as a lifeline. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to absorb her reflections and the hauntingly beautiful music she played in the concentration camps—over 100 concerts, if you can believe it. The tone is poignant, yet it has this undercurrent of resilience. There’s something raw about how it captures not just her story, but the broader themes of survival and the power of art. Plus, the archival footage mixed with present-day interviews lends a unique atmosphere that feels very authentic.
