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) 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. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian [A] sticky, stop-start drama set in the exacting, pressurised realm of classical music. Rated: 3/5 Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Nell Minow AWFJ.org Nina Hoss gives a stunning performance in The Audition. Oct 6, 2021 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) A storyline that is both unconvincing in itself and terminated by a sudden and empty denouement. Rated: 2/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Cate Marquis AWFJ.org There is little exposition, everything just unfolds in series of scenes sometimes quiet, sometimes unexpected, until the dramatic ending, but it is a complex portrait and Nina Hoss holds us in her power throughout. Oct 6, 2021 Full Review Kathia Woods AwardsWatch The Audition is a complicated well-acted web. The lesson here is that you cannot ask others to fulfill your dreams.

mike l This is a borderline carbon copy of The Piano Teacher, and not nearly as good. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
