Extremely difficult but worthy film.

Grimly claustrophobic movies can make viewers put up a shield, yet Tim Blake Nelson (who directed O) invests this unusual Holocaust drama with dramatic intensity that in no way cheapens its subject matter.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
When the larger question cannot be answered, the lesser one -- "What would you have done?" -- seems beside the point.

Washington Post
Jagged, unrelenting, claustrophobically intimate.

The movie's storyline is not always perfectly clear, seemingly falling into the same murky “grey zone” as everything else.
