    Boring and pointless. Not sure if we are watching a story about the industrialist and his good intentions, the aryan couple, or teh "good" nazis.

    Saw this film at a special screening in New York. What a thrill. Keeps you guessing right to the last minute. The Q&A afterwards with John Daly was amazing. This film looks like a $30million picture....it was made for under $10million. Amazing!

    John Daly should stick to golf where he excels.

    A soapy, languid picture that you'd expect to see on cable because it stars Martin Landau. John Daly, one of the greatest producers of all time, is for some reason a very average director and writer. A soapy, languid picture that you'd expect to see on cable because it stars Martin Landau.

I was sorry to see that Mr. Daly clearly doesn't have people around him honest enough to give him the critical feedback he needs to stop train wrecks like this.… Expand

    An insult to the memory of those who suffered at the hands of the Nazis. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Comic book Nazis, The Holocaust and a tense stand off around the dinner table... WHY? Oh money of course!

    Feel-good historical fiction, The Aryan Couple insultingly seeks to soothe and comfort against the reality of atrocity.

    The problem, as it is so often in well-intentioned movies of this kind, is that rather than illuminate the enormity of Nazism, The Aryan Couple trades upon our knowledge of it for emotional impact.

    A few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score.
