Witty 2 Oh my gosh!!! It is unacceptable Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review John B An important, historic piece of cinema history. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of the most Anti-Semitic films ever made. A propaganda film from Nazi Germany, the film had modest success in Germany and undoubtedly aided in perpetrating the Holocaust. Scary propaganda. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Like Birth of a Nation, this film is well put together and has a well defined villain but the message it portrays, especially during the time of Nazi Germany, tarnishes the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member At it's core, "Jud Suess" is actually quite a classic story of a man in power who becomes manipulated by one standing behind the throne. However, even though the spine of the film is classical in nature, I can not in good conscience recommend this film in any way when its flesh, muscles, and blood are built around anti-semitism. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member the only reason i give this film four stars is that i think it's an important work historically. people need to realize that this sort of thing existed. in all regards the film is well made...however, the subject matter and blatent anti-semitism should be realized. to quote another film, "you can't just tap someone on the shoulder anymore, you have to hit them with a sledgehammer." this one hit me like a sledgehammer.
