Josefina Sartora Otroscines.com Very tough, implacable, this film by Loznitsa records two hours of archival of the trial that in 1930 was carried out in the Soviet Union. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The Trial, with whose title no doubt Loznitsa means to convey hints of Franz Kafka, presents powerful material. Aug 7, 2020 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Extraordinary and invaluable exercise. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Tanner Tafelski Hyperallergic The film plays like a classic Hollywood courtroom drama, however with the uncomfortable mood, the interstitial tedium, and the long-winded responses included. Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Astounding find: a complete film of one of Stalin's early infamous "show trials"...After, Loznitsa scrolls his research on what really happened to all the participants. Rated: 7/10 Feb 2, 2019 Full Review Lawrence Garcia Cinema Scope With The Trial, Loznitsa has orchestrated a move from historical survey to vicarious comprehension.
