      Carol L An important film, but casting was meh. So many great Jewish actors out there and they cast nonJews to play very important Jewish roles? New York accents attempted by nonJew British actors were unsurprisingly not great. The subject is never easy to approach, but the film was effective and informative. The weaknesses did not make it unwatchable, and the strengths made it an important film to watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Paul G Its watchable, its interesting in that you get to understand what is taking place around the trial and the impact the trial has on the world. There is no big ending though as throughout the trial Eichmann maintains his composure and gives little to nothing away. Did it need to be a film/drama? I'm not sure. Its powerful watching though and maybe for some its message is more effective than watch documentaries. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Much like the original audience of the trial apparently felt, I was bored in watching this movie. Having watched numerous documentaries regarding the holocaust, holocaust survivors and the Eichmann trial, this film added nothing to that scholarship. Trying to tell a story about the people who did the filming of the trial, when the majority of the movie centers on the atrocities that were at the center of the trial, had very little impact. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review william k Dramatisation of the team hoping to televise the trial of Adolf Eichmann, an infamous Nazi responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. It focuses on Leo Hurwitz, a documentary film-maker and Milton Fruchtman, a producer. Well-meant, but rather superficial docudrama has some good actors, but lacks any depth or grasp of the complexity of its topic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review richard i Such a shame that this important story gets the TV movie script and direction it doesn't deserve, though there's not much to fault the performances given by the cast. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review andy f An interesting movie covering the live broadcast of Adolf Eichmann's trial. It effectively shows the time when the world finally woke up to the plight of the Jeiwsh people during WWII. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kaori Shoji Japan Times There's much to ponder here, such as the moral issues involved in turning a historical event that inflicted untold damage to the human race into a televised "show," however nobly intended. Rated: 3/5 May 31, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
