This is moviemaking on the highest dramatic, psychological, and moral plane.
It's important for the film to establish the concentration camp as a hell on earth from the start, but Schlöndorff has more in mind than creating another reminder of the inhumanity of fascism.
A thoughtfully written drama of ideas with vivid performances by August Diehl and Ulrich Matthes.
Succeeds in illuminating an almost unimaginably dark story.
A grim meditation on faith and betrayal that focuses on a relatively obscure corner of Holocaust history: the fate of the Catholic clergy under the Third Reich.
Earnest but ambling drama.
The film is thought-provoking but not terribly involving.
