CineVue -
Son of Saul is not simply a good film, it feels like an urgent and important one, a warning from history.

The Guardian -
By any standards, this would be an outstanding film, but for a debut it is remarkable.

|
Hitfix -
In terms of filmmaking prowess, "remarkable" may not do Laszlo Nemes' holocaust drama "Son of Saul" justice.
|
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Unusual for a Holocaust drama, the film offers no false hope of rescue or resurrection, but does insist that our bearing witness matters.
|
|
IndieWire -
A remarkable refashioning of the Holocaust drama that reignites the setting with extraordinary immediacy, Son of Saul is both terrifying to watch and too gripping in its moment-to-moment to look away.
