What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may occasionally veer into discordant territory, but The Audition remains a darkly illuminating character study led by a forceful turn from Nina Hoss.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 04/04/2022
4/5
The slow creep of the camera mirrors the incremental build in pressure; this is the kind of tension that feels like a tightening chokehold on the audience. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 03/28/2022
3/5
[A] sticky, stop-start drama set in the exacting, pressurised realm of classical music. Go to Full Review Nell Minow AWFJ.org 10/06/2021
Nina Hoss gives a stunning performance in The Audition. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 04/04/2022
2/5
A storyline that is both unconvincing in itself and terminated by a sudden and empty denouement. Go to Full Review Cate Marquis AWFJ.org 10/06/2021

The Audition is a complicated well-acted web. The lesson here is that you cannot ask others to fulfill your dreams. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mike l @MikeLance 12/29/2021 This is a borderline carbon copy of The Piano Teacher, and not nearly as good. See more 05/06/2021 The great mystery in the film is Jonas, but the development of his character leaves more questions than even the possibilities of answers. Hoss's character is a hard person to like, but I loved her intensity and the intensity of the whole film. See more 12/24/2020 A deep and rich character study of a perfectionistic woman who tortures herself with every minute mistake. Watch it for the uncannily great performance by Nina Hoss, one of the great actors of the century. Contrary to what Rotten Tomatoes says - the film is in German with a smattering of French.
