San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Succeeds in making the case that the hatred that seemed dead and buried 60 years ago is alive and growing and beginning to present itself once again as a threat to humane civilization.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

The scourge of the 20th century has become a sage and hero to a new generation of haters.

Washington Post Stephen Hunter

A profoundly disturbing -- and depressing -- look at the New Anti-Semitism of the post-9/11 world. Produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, the film is remarkably restrained, given the outrages it documents.

Chicago Tribune Jessica Reaves

Ever Again isn't a subtle film, but then it never pretends to be. More lecture than conversation, it's not designed to delicately challenge opposing viewpoints.

LA Weekly Jessica Grose

The causal combination of pop culture and Holocaust imagery is an arresting start to a film about contemporary European anti-Semitism, but the doc quickly turns to well-worn themes.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust

And though the film also quotes Wiesenthal's exhortation "Hope lives when people remember," the filmmakers are most interested in drawing attention to what is happening now, primarily in Europe, and what it may mean for the future.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

Offers a litany of images and sound bites that are all too disturbing. Although Ever Again lacks the dramatic focus that would make it truly distinctive, it offers a timely wake-up call that should be well heeded.

Variety John Anderson

Since the documentary will likely find its home in the educational market, a more balanced approach might have made it more insightful and educational.

The New York Times Neil Genzlinger

Dismayingly, bad filmmaking isn't really to blame for the lack of punch in Ever Again. Perhaps it's the familiarity of it all.

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum

There's plenty of disquieting material here, but I wish the film were less antagonistic in its own right.
