Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"The author Martin Amis, who’s one of the most compelling people interviewed here, says that if you can expand our knowledge of Hitler by just a millimeter, you’ve done something." - 11/25/2020 Variety


"An intellectual inquiry with burning present-day resonance, THE MEANING OF HITLER is also a road trip through some of the darkest chapters of European history." - 11/21/2021 Hollywood Reporter


"Overall, the filmmakers’ freewheeling approach covers a fair amount of ground..." - 08/13/2021 RogerEbert.com


"[The film] seeks to understand the combination of personal pathology, political shrewdness and mass complicity that allowed Hitler to create the Nazi regime. It also finds disturbing 21st-century echoes." - 08/12/2021 New York Times
