Where Hands Touch
Among the chaos of wars, this dramatic-romantic film recounts a story about a young girl named Lina. Lina is a 15-year-old daughter of a white German mother and a black father. Because of her color skin, she may faces some difficulties about racism in the society. One day, she meets Lutz who is a young from the Nazy army. Lutz gives Lina what she hasn't found, love, and she begins to feel that she has someone who loves her with her nature. But what can happen when the war separates them from each other?. It's a struggling dramatic story.

Where Hands Touch is unfortunately as problematic as we assumed; the questions it raises about national vs. cultural identity didn't need a Nazi romance to be resonant.

The longer it lasts, the more insipid it gets

Where Hands Touch is a waste of solid acting by Amandla Stenberg, and time for its viewers. Asante's attempt to make Nazi characters appear sympathetic is a perfect example of not reading the room, especially in this contentious time in our country.

... provides mild insight into an obscure aspect of the war, although its heartfelt intentions ring hollow amid an abundance of sentimentality.

Where Hands Touch is a coming of age story, a saga of war, and a heart-rending love story about a forbidden romance that defied the odds against survival in a living hell.

Throughout, Asante raises questions about bravery, conscience and, most of all, identity.

Stenberg carries the magnetism she brought to her breakthrough role in the YA romance "Everything, Everything," but she's betrayed by a stilted rendering of a rarely illuminated piece of history.

A gut-wrenching misfire.

Asante usually excels at sharing stories audiences haven't seen before, so it's unfortunate that this one feels so dully familiar.
