Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 08/19/2017
4/5
Like the fog in August of its title, the horrors of Wessel's film don't come in a rush, but insinuate themselves gradually in what, initially, appears to be a comparatively benign setting before leaving you chilled to the bone. Go to Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Radio 03/30/2017
A bizarre film delving into the elimination of those considered 'defective' - a dress rehearsal for the holocaust to come. But where instead of Nazi stock villains - delusional, both elegant and creepy health care workers perform imagined acts of mercy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/08/2019 I was profoundly moved by this film. Tension slowly builds,but you are entirely invested in Ernst Lossa and the characters that surround him in the psychiatric hospital. German cinema always has a knack of hitting you straight between the eyes and this is no exception. The horrors of Nazi Germany should never be forgotten and films like this are an important document in fostering that cause. Deeply disturbing and heartbreaking, I recommend it highly....just keep the tissue box close by. See more 05/06/2017 I wish Ernst could escape to America. Sad. The wicked wore beautiful outfit, just like their lies. See more 03/04/2017 I ain't really into the story, or even its directing & narrative, but it starred with that little lad in "Jack".
