REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers Be the 1st!

“..unflinching yet poignant, Sarah's Key asks just how deeply you want to delve into your past..”

by Scott Bowles [USA Today]

“..the film looks away for you, by cutting to the present-day story and going limp, as life-and-death drama is replaced by life as we know it..”

by Rachel Saltz [NY Times]

“..is in no way a serious exploration of French complicity in the Holocaust. It simply leverages history's greatest outrage to turn it into a little detective/sob story through which Thomas drifts..”

by Kyle Smith [New York Post]

“..filmmakers working in a language not their own, these scenes feel like they're not just in another tongue, they're in another movie..”

by Kenneth Turan [LA Times]

“..doesn't seriously overplay the material. Aside from Max Richter's mawkish score and Aidan Quinn's blustery performance, the movie's tone is poised..”

by Mark Jenkins [npr.org]
