An African-German author loses his memory and becomes the spokesman for neo-Nazis.

"Heil" is undone by its writer/director's utter disdain for all of his characters and has to resort to simpleminded farce to claw its way out of the wreckage of its exhaustingly overcomplex plot.

Rated: C+

Variety

Not necessarily 'too soon,' but undeniably 'too much,' this German sendup of neo-Nazism feels like an assault on good taste.

CineVue

Heil is a completely different monster: a broad cultural satire fashioned as a b-comedy and seeping with disdain towards a hypocritical society failing to wipe out the traces of its heinous past.

Rated: 3/5

Cineuropa

While any narrative line seems secondary to the jokes, the film's intense air of mania carries audiences through.

The Film Stage

The filmic equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel, with a bazooka.
