Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Darkly evocative of the chaotic final two weeks of the war and resplendently shot in widescreen black-and-white, writer-director Robert Schwentke's relentless film wants to show how the Nazi mindset sanctioning all manner of evil was not restricted just to card-carrying believers but filtered down to infect the general populace..." - 09/20/2018 Hollywood Reporter


"[A] brave and uncompromising indictment of human nature..." - 07/26/2018 Variety


"One thing that’s not ambiguous is Schwentke’s commentary on how Willi Herold’s story, and the rise of the Nazi Party in general, reflect our current political moment." -- Grade: B - 07/25/2018 A.V. Club


"[I]t compels our attention with a remorseless, gripping single-mindedness, presenting Naziism as a communicable disease that smothers conscience, paralyzes resistance and extinguishes all shreds of humanity." - 07/26/2018 New York Times
