Critics Consensus

Driven by a commanding performance from Russell Crowe, Nuremberg is a handsomely crafted historical drama, but its measured pacing and emotional restraint keep it from fully realizing the complexity of its subject.

Leonard Maltin

This movie isn’t consumed with self-importance, despite some obvious parallels to current events. This is entertainment that happens to be rooted in reality about a day of reckoning the likes of which the world hasn’t seen in a long, long time

Mick LaSalle

San Francisco Chronicle

They pull it off, not seamlessly — there are scattered moments of narrative awkwardness — but effectively. By the end, “Nuremberg” feels like an important film.

Rated: 3/4

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

Undone by storytelling that, however well-intentioned, coats its real-life tale in a corny Hollywood sheen.

Choices were made in the story that didn't gibe ... too many subplots and not enough gravitas. The all-star cast was like a WW2 film from the 1960s, with Russell Crowe's take on Herman Göring the standout. Oddly, it was the epilogue that saved the film.

Rated: 4/5

Susan Granger

SSG Syndicate

Tightly scripted & confidently directed by James Vanderbilt, the verbal sparring between Malek's psychiatrist & Crowe's Hermann Goring is reminiscent of the manipulative maneuvering between Clarice Starling & Hannibal Lecter in 'The Silence of the Lambs.'

Rated: 10/10

Splice Today

It’s sluggish, boring, poorly-paced, not about one of the more interesting angles of the trials, and is bogged down by two central performances that are terrible, despite coming from past Oscar winners.

Swift and slick. Surprisingly filled with levity ( read: embraceability) … Rami is superb — Crowe disappears into the role … the last 20 minutes will grab you and hit you — to the core

This was one of the best, most substantive, well produced movies I have seen in a very long time. Capturing a seminal historical moment like this comes with real responsibility, but this movie met the challenge. I loved this movie and applaud the obvious effort made to do it properly.
