Critic Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum

The tonal elegance of this black comedy set in a dark time -- is boldly dependent on performances that tug at taut lines of moral complexity. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan

Not only is the film that good, it's also that wonderfully, inescapably Czech. Read full review

Boston Globe - Jay Carr

The film's triumph - and it is a triumph - in the end rests on the ability of Hrebejk and his actors to convince us that they never stop being normal people.

Chicago Tribune - Robert K. Elder

Has the literary richness, depth of character and tone that such a morally difficult, powerful narrative requires.

Chicago Reader - Mark Peranson

An amiable black comedy. Read full review

Variety - Eddie Cockrell

Confronts an incendiary topic head-on with grace, style, compassion and exquisitely practical wit. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox

None of this is funny, the surreal touches are ridiculous and the final fantasy sequence, in which the nameless ghosts of the murdered Wiener family smile on Josef, is simply nauseating. Read full review

"United we stand, divided we fall!"

Oops, wrong movie. Ok, Divided We Fall is a decent comedy that can work for just a few times and then it'll manage to get saved by its script.
