Critics Consensus

In the Fade proves Diane Kruger is more than up to the task of carrying a movie -- even if the end result doesn't quite live up to her remarkable work.

Eye C

Great movie, but is so hard to watch it, the injustice, the frustration. Putting that a side, is interesting, and goes to places uncommon, like the family affected is not a perfect good family, no, it's the opposite, for that kind of decisions this gives something out of the ordinary.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

3 & 1/4 stars. Quite a thriller, but ultimately predictable. Sad, since it's based on true events.

In the Fade is never less than gripping.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

It's a mercurial performance, subtly modulated, and somewhat at odds with an increasingly melodramatic potboiler that flirts uneasily with the pulpy conventions of vengeance-fuelled B-movies.

Rated: 3/5

David Jenkins

Little White Lies

Kruger's solid central turn is rendered null and void by the hacky, hyperbolic drama that surrounds it.

Rated: 1/5

Vague Visages

In the Fade would be more tonally coherent if it stuck to the courtroom plotline, even if that would make it little more than a glorified episode of some legal procedural TV show.

Stream on Demand

It’s an emotional odyssey in three acts, a story of grief and rage and revenge in the modern Germany of weaponized racism, and [Diane] Kruger powers it with a ferocious performance as Katja.

Film Frenzy

Less a searing examination of sociopolitical issues than a Death Wish reconfigured for leftist viewers.
