Good news first. Interesting scenes of ghetto buildings and their undergrounds and hidding places. Very good performances by most of the cast. Headlines with names and dates, make it easier to understand.
Bad news now. Heavy spoilers. In the real ghetto, one of those flags in the roof of the building was not what the movie shows (it was the flag of one of the parties, not that of Israel). The movie completelly forgets the ZZW contribution to the resistance in the uprising and unfairly depicts only ZOB actions. None of the actors took a week to loose some weigh to play these demanding roles. Leelee Sobiesky looks incredibly good (as always) even in her brest implants and Hank Azaria kept his weigh lifting sessions during the filming. In the movie, it looks very unrealistic. None of the characters looks like a starving person.
How can the wooden bridge of Chlodna street not appear once in the movie? Plus, you can't make a Warszawa ghetto movie of you don't take seriously the famine that went one there. The movie is entertaining and useful to bring atention to some historial facts for those who know nothing about WWII.
