Reviews

Fehling gives a commanding physical performance as he transitions from ambition to despair to, finally, resolve.
70
The film deftly explores the story's complex moral issues from several sides.
70
An intelligent and arresting fact-based drama.

It is content to be a chilly, disquieting study of a society in a state of denial until the truth is bared.

At least the film brings up a disturbing piece of history without sensationalizing it. And it does believably portray why so many Germans, with the war at last over and the economy beginning to boom, preferred to forget what many claimed they never knew.
