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".

Lapa's vivid and vital film... has much to say and says it well.

Lapa has made a remarkable portrait of one man's reinvention, and of compartmentalizing in hyperdrive.

A fascinating and pertinent tale, but one major aspect of its telling gives me serious pause.

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.

What we get feels like a mixture of both fact and dramatization, which while ceaselessly fascinating, feels slightly unsatisfying.
