Nuremberg - Reviews

Though Nuremberg has a surprising sense of humour, including several amusing smash-cuts, Vanderbilt is careful to give the weighty material the respect and space it deserves.

Telling a story set in the past can be a great way to talk about the present. “Nuremberg” does this.

Russell Crowe’s Göring v Rami Malek’s psychiatrist in swish yet glib courtroom showdown.

...handsomely produced, eminently watchable, old-school filmmaking, with gorgeous cinematography and a magnetic turn from the great Russell Crowe.

Part historical drama and part psychological character study, this take on the legendary tribunal features masterful performances by Crowe and Malek.

...you will walk away from the film feeling empty and lost —and that’s the point: what happened at the Nuremberg trials should only evoke a sense of loss and indescribable sadness.

Nuremberg isn't subtle, but it turns out prosecuting Nazis doesn't need to be.

What should represent the soul of this film is merely its coda. While it pleads for us to reckon with the ugliest of truths, it shuts the curtains before its own reckoning is done.

Crowe is magnetic as the unrepentant Nazi leader, but Nuremberg intends more heft than it achieves.
