Becomes a standard-issue escape drama, but it's very well done. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14
The subject is so momentous that any efforts not reaching a certain level of quality can come across as exploitative. Lior Geller’s independent feature doesn’t reach those heights, but it redeems itself with the obvious care that’s gone into it. Go to Full Review

9/10
Some stories need to be told over and over, not because we enjoy the telling, but because forgetting them is a kind of violence all its own. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Mar 23
The World Will Tremble is a harrowing depiction of the beginning of the Holocaust and how the Nazis' heinous murders of Jewish people were kept a secret from the world for too long. Oliver Jackson-Cohen leads the cast with a riveting performance. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 4 The World Will Tremble is a deeply emotional and harrowing film based on the true story of prisoners attempting to escape Nazi death camps. The weight of its historical reality makes every scene impactful, as audiences witness unimaginable suffering and the resilience of the human spirit. The cast delivers exceptional performances, with strong chemistry that brings depth and authenticity to the story. The screenplay is meticulously researched, balancing historical accuracy with compelling drama, though at times extended dialogue slows the pacing. The direction is thoughtful, capturing both intimate human moments and the vast, oppressive scale of the camps. Cinematography, music, and production design all contribute to a haunting atmosphere. Despite minor pacing issues, the film is a moving tribute to courage and survival, and it’s a story worth experiencing. It’s a powerful, unforgettable cinematic achievement. See more Cody W Oct 8 Bit of a stinker. Very slow pacing, no connection to characters. See more Alec B Oct 3 It feels somewhat incomplete as if this should have been a longer epic but for its meager budget it still accomplishes a lot. See more Young S @Stevie Sep 17 Remarkable film. Difficult to watch, but, in an era of lies and imagined genocides, this movie depicts a real one. See more Scott W @spoiler Sep 14 Excellent movie with great acting and the horrors of a people gone mad See more Benson R Sep 13 Very well made movie. Kept me awake the whole movie. But it is just very sad and horrific. See more Read all reviews
