Anna Smith Rolling Stone UK Oct 30, 2025
5/5
This is a true horror, all the more disturbing for the apparent ease with which this couple accept the status quo. It also feels, sadly, incredibly relevant to the modern day. Go to Full Review
Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Sep 17, 2024
5/5
An uncompromising and chilling vision of evil unlike any other film about Nazism. Go to Full Review
Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Feb 29, 2024
4/5
Glazer takes a meticulously forensic approach to the pair, but it could never be said he’s putting them under a microscope. Far from it. He’s determined to keep them at a distance, perhaps afraid that a single close-up might taint the whole exercise. Go to Full Review
Rita Di Santo Morning Star (UK) Oct 30, 2026
5/5
an uncomfortable spectacle, a claustrophobic horror, evoking painful memories Go to Full Review
Andy Hazel The Saturday Paper Sep 3, 2026
The power that comes from the juxtaposition of garden parties and the sounds of mass murder is magnified by the dissonance of Mica Levi’s score. Glazer's is a film that is chillingly effective in realising its astonishing ambition. Go to Full Review
Christos Tsiolkas The Saturday Paper Jul 23, 2026
Not all choices in The Zone of Interest work or cohere, but it’s outstanding and difficult, a work of undoubted moral integrity. It has no answers. Go to Full Review
