Simran Hans Observer (UK) There's a lot of dense plot and legal jargon to compress, but punchy editing ensures the film remains fast-paced and light on its feet. Rated: 3/5 Sep 12, 2021 Full Review Marina Ashioti Little White Lies Questionable and vaguely predictable narrative choices. Rated: 2/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian This world of moral greys and justifications feels undeveloped and fails to come to life successfully. Rated: 2/5 Sep 7, 2021 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The film's direction by Marco Kreuzpaintner is sophisticated and competent: the acting is universally excellent. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Solid, classic, captivating, and very well-acted.

Rosana B O filme demora a engrenar, mas ganha contornos dramáticos na sua segunda metade, o julgamento. E se torna revoltante, como pessoas tão más sobrevivem tanto tempo e na riqueza, diante da miséria dos que sobreviveram aos seus Homicídios… O pano de fundo histórico iluminado pela obra é a prevenção do processo de crimes nazistas graves pelo judiciário da República Federal da Alemanha devido a uma lei de 1968, conhecida como escândalo de prescrição. Revoltante, emocionante, chocante e instrutivo... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Dominic B Intense and involving. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Tiago S Um dos filmes mais impactantes que já assisti, um mistério no julgamento que é revelado no final, que depois de tudo ser falado nos emocionamos com muitas lágrimas nos olhos, é triste de ver a brutalidade do Nazismo, bem vou parar por aqui se não irei dizer tudo sobre o filme, mas recomendo demais para quem gosta de julgamentos e justiça sendo feita. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/22 Full Review Audience Member Es una buena película que tiene una trama entretenida y la actuación de Elyas M'Barek es excelente; es muy recomendable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Bom Filme, Misterioso, que nos prende a atenção a medida que os desfechos são dosadamente revelados, boas atuações principalmente por parte do protagonista (Elyas M'Barek), só não me agradou a cena final o filme no geral não cosegue comover o bastante para apresentar aquela cena e fazer com que nos emocione o suficiente, mais isso não tira os méritos desse bom filme! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review s r A court room drama setting up the horrible Nazi protectors against a novice lawyer was good. However, it was a little cheap on the drama and it after awhile it seemed hollow. It still had it moments, but was a little self righteous. I saw it on a delta flight. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
