Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com [It] has a more upsetting dimension than most suspense dramas as it's based on a true story, a story that touches on issues still roiling France today. Rated: 3/4 Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times Knowing the outcome behind the true-life tragedy "24 Days" doesn't diffuse the horror, the tension or the sadness of watching one family's drama unfold day after agonizing day when a son is kidnapped and hope dies. Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Mark Jenkins NPR 24 Days takes strength from real-world specifics. But the most powerful thing about the movie is its rejection of omniscience. The crime it reconstructs is beyond understanding. Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest As tensely suspenseful as it is shocking. Rated: 8/10 May 29, 2015 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Suspenseful with moving performances, but suffers from a pedestrian, Hollywood-style screenplay and brisk pacing that doesn't give the film enough room to breathe nor does it trust your patience. Rated: 6.65/10 Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews ...a powerful family drama that has marked political and social overtones. Rated: B Apr 24, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

richard i In the absence of anything better, and acknowledging that fact trumps fiction with regard to reveal events, this will have to do as a reporting of one of the most worrying cock-ups in French police history and the banalisation of antisemitism in France, but the excellent cast are let down by a poor script and direction which do the important story no favours at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A fascinating police procedural and the heartbreak of a Jewish family whose son was stolen from them for the sole crime of being Jewish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member French film based on the true story of a young Jewish man who was kidnapped, torched and killed just because he was Jewish and how the police were not able to find him until it was too late. excellent written and acted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Changed the history of France. A senseless and meaningless brutal inhuman minds that only seek to destroy others and find pride in it. The thought of cowardly, conscienceless, ingrates like Youssouf Fofana and similar makes me wonder what went wrong in their brains? Is it pathological? Is it a kind of deformity that needs treatment? Or is jail the solution? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and suspenseful - but I kept waiting for something more. The themes were larger than the film allows. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Not sure what to say. Horrible real life drama. For sure. Touching as well. In the end it was a lot of phones ringing, an angry man shouting and cursing and women suffering. and it all ended badly. But somehow I got bored and drifted away...
