Mr. Loznitsa doesn’t lighten the mood with any familiar filmmaking tricks: there are, for instance, no musical cues to guide you over the troubling or ambiguous passages. Like the characters, you work through each surprising turn.

Intimate in the telling, sweeping in the implications, Loznitsa has created an unusually incisive film.

It's a stark vision of humanity in a hellish world. Tough and thought-provoking.

In the Fog is an intense, slow-burning and haunting drama.

In the Fog develops an unearthly spell that largely makes up for its cerebral pace.

Loznitsa would have done better to embrace the story’s enigmas as opposed to explicate them.

This philosophical war film is impressive and thought provoking but it’s also too restrained and pensive to ever completely connect.
