Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express A question that deserves our attention, and the answers that emerge from it... Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Made with well-considered period detail and suffused by a dusty, slanted light thanks to DP Judith Kaufmann, this works as an evocative and affecting portrait of love in a time of genocide. Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Kevin Fullerton The List The shy and unprepossessing quality that Liv Lisa Fries brings to Hilde deserves a film with stronger convictions and a greater idea of why this story should be told in the first place. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) There can be no denying this is a valid and vividly atmospheric work with both its head and heart in the right place. Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Andiee Paviour Nobody's Reading This But Me Resolve in the face of evil is a testimony of daring that can never be retold too often. Rated: 3/5 Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com It’s remarkable how a film with such a rich basis could turn out to be such a dreary slog...Worthy to a fault, the lax direction makes that common presumption that just because a subject is important or based on real events it’s automatically interesting, Rated: 2/5 Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Wayne M From Hilde, With Love is an interesting and well made film, even if it doesn't execute perfectly. It's a true story and feels like an important one. It's the story of Hilde Coppi, a German communist and resistance fighter before and during World War Two. Hilde was a young medical student who becomes part of the Red Orchestra. The film concentrates mostly on her time in prison after she is captured by the Gestapo. Clearly, this is a most harrowing time as you would expect. The film also uses flashbacks to show her carefree time when she met Hans Coppi and how they joined the resistance. The flashbacks for me don't work as well and I think the film would have worked better being told in a linear fashion. But Liv Lisa Fries is wonderful as Hilde, making that alone a worthwhile watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
