Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15, 2017
The sad truth is that we've heard countless harrowing stories of the Holocaust, and this one, for the most part, isn't presented in a way that makes it indelible or urgent. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Sep 14, 2017

Craig D. Lindsey Village Voice Sep 13, 2017

Sophia Cowley Film Inquiry Oct 4, 2017
