4/5

Compelling in its depiction of quiet heroism, this testament to the power of passive resistance is made all the more authentic and poignant by the superbly controlled performance of Julia Jentsch.

B

The realization that we are, in many instances, listening in on actual proceedings gives the film an immediacy that no dramatist could hope to match.

The film holds few surprises, though it builds a remarkable level of suspense during the fait-accompli interrogation scenes, and is a well-intended commemoration of a courageous young woman.

8/10

Jentsch ... delivers a powerfully understated performance appropriate to her character’s conviction that truth is stronger than even the most horrenduously unjust regime.

A very tense study of the last days of Nazism, and a worthy homage to a true heroine...

Filled with dialogues and it seems to me that the whole movie just doesn't have a good purpose.
