100An exquisite and powerful documentary -- one whose elegance only heightens its devastating impact.
-
90Speaks so eloquently for itself, there's not much more for me to do than urge you to get over to the Nuart for the one week it's playing in Los Angeles.
-
90At once admirable and deeply unsettling.
-
90The definitive screen chronicle to date of homosexual persecution under the Third Reich.
-
90It's astonishing, and moving.
-
88It's an eye opener to how quickly a society can switch from being open and tolerant to pointing fingers -- and worse -- at those deemed different.
-
88Soberly, deeply effective.
-
Perhaps the most disturbing fact in the film comes in the text at the end: Paragraph 175 remained on the books in both halves of postwar Germany until the late 1960s.
-
The tales told are bitter, horrific in detail...yet often leavened with irony and humor. Rupert Everett's low-key narration serves the film well.
-
80Illuminating, poignant and heartening.
-
75Victimization of homosexuals during the Holocaust era has often been overlooked. Epstein and Friedman lucidly recount this woeful history, with help from Everett's articulate narration.
-
75Explores the comparatively enlightened Berlin culture that had allowed homosexuality to flourish in intellectual and social circles before the Nazis forcibly changed the national mind-set.
-
75A worthy addition to the growing canon of Holocaust documentaries.
-
70Evokes feelings of fascination and heartbreak, as well as a sense of disbelief.
