July 22, 2011 - Boston.com - Ty Burr/Globe Staff

"La Rafle’’ (“The Round-Up’’) is a big, sorrowful, dramatically trite period epic about a bleak chapter in the history of modern France: the 1942 arrest of 13,000 Parisian Jews and their deportation to the death camps in the east. It’s a story that only now is being confronted on film; in fact, it’s the subject of two movies, this one and the upcoming “Sarah’s Key,’’ with Kristin Scott Thomas. Written and directed by Rose Bosch, “La Rafle’’ is sobering and often engrossing, but its reliance on cliches and sentiment make one hope the other film is a lot better.
