Farran Smith Nehme New York Post 01/11/2013
1.5/4
The film plays mostly as an uneasily satirical thriller. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 01/10/2013
2/5
An awkward blend of anti-Semitic atrocities and identity-swapping absurdity, the World War II drama "My Best Enemy" struggles to find a convincing tone. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 01/10/2013
3/5
The script relies on too many unlikely twists, but Bleibtreu manages to sell them all. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 01/14/2013
While the film generates some mild suspense and the period re-creation is convincing enough, the twists eventually become more contrived and preposterous. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/03/2014 The plot is absolutely ridiculous! I guess now a days you can turn whatever ridiculous plot you come across into a movie, just as long as it is about the holocaust! See more 10/31/2013 Far better than the critics rate this. See more 07/30/2013 It is very hard to define the genre as it has many aspects and has a twisted story development. A mystery-like story made the historical issue less serious. See more 07/21/2013 Riveting and realistically refreshing movie about WWII, Germany, the Nazis and friendships. For me, it was borderline Hitchcock-worthy in its suspense. Give it a try! It will at least, perhaps, make you look at things slightly differently and from a German's perspective as well.
