How did a man in charge of 12 million slave laborers become "the good Nazi"? SPEER GOES TO HOLLYWOOD offers an intriguing look at the inner workings of a man responsible for the deaths of millions, yet whom many people still consider a decent man in indecent circumstances. This new film by director Vanessa Lapa, award-winning director of The Decent One (2014), is a cautionary tale about Albert Speer's 1971 attempt to whitewash his past with a Hollywood adaptation of his bestselling wartime memoir, "Inside the Third Reich".

Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Lapa's vivid and vital film... has much to say and says it well. Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Lapa has made a remarkable portrait of one man's reinvention, and of compartmentalizing in hyperdrive. Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com A fascinating and pertinent tale, but one major aspect of its telling gives me serious pause. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly A powerful and troubling documentary that won’t leave you any time soon. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills The fact that Speer's revisionist history was even considered as a major Hollywood project makes this documentary an even more astounding portrait of a liar-whether a coldly deliberate or delusional one, we'll never know. Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Tynan Yanaga Film Inquiry What we get feels like a mixture of both fact and dramatization, which while ceaselessly fascinating, feels slightly unsatisfying.
