Becomes a standard-issue escape drama, but it's very well done.

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Culture Mix

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.

Rated: 6/10

There is 20 minutes of good content in the 2 hours movie. The sceens a brutally long. I found myself getting beyond frustrated with myself saying "get on with it". It's a shame because it's a great story! Wouldn't have even made it past 30 minutes but it was a $6 dollar rental and the wife was just as bored but insisted we finish. Slowest movie I've ever sat through!!!!!

It has cinematic honesty but a couple of overlong scenes in rooms had me fast forwarding to avoid the derivative stuff and before you know it, it’s over.
