Movie Reviews

  • The result may not be as raw as it should be. But it's also compelling enough that we can't turn away
    3 of 4 by Stephanie Zacharek [Movieline ]
  • Reduced to obscurity after the war, Rabe deserves to be remembered for his role in shielding hundreds of thousands in a "safety zone" on company grounds. But the film will help little in securing his legacy
    Review rate : C+ by Scott Tobias [A.V. Club ]
  • It's only the terror that rings true
    by Mark Jenkins [NPR ]
  • From the outset of "John Rabe" you are uncomfortably aware of watching a wartime melodrama that, despite its honorable intentions, will throw in any emotional ploy to keep you engaged
    by Stephen Holden [NY Times ]
  • Cello-scored pantomimes of resilience and grief can make us feel, but it's not always evident who or what that serves
    by Eric Hynes [Village Voice ]
  • Boasting impressive production values, engaging storytelling and a standout lead performance
    3 of 5 by Steve Ramos [Boxoffice Magazine ]
  • A fine performance by Ulrich Tukur, as the eponymous German who managed to save over 200,000 Chinese during the 1937 Nanjing massacre by the Japanese army, is the main reason to see "John Rabe"
    by Derek Elley [Variety ]
  • A credible and entertaining portrait of a "good Nazi," whose heroism has only recently come to light
    by Kirk Honeycutt [Hollywood Reporter ]
