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.

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.

I wish that The World will Tremble had felt more developed, but Geller succeeds in calling attention to a story that's not well known.

Both Jackson-Cohen and Jones turn in compelling work as men on the run who are in a constant state of fight or flight but also determined to tell their Jewish communities still in ghettos what is happening

Rated: 6/10

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

The quick pace and fluid passing of time is the [film's] best feature because this escape becomes less about the characters than the act itself. Everything they sacrifice proves [their eye-witness account] will always be more important than their lives.

Rated: 8/10
