In Darkness

"This story of suffering and almost inadvertent humanitarianism is harrowing, engrossing, claustrophobic and sometimes literally hard to watch" 

"An important film, related with deep conviction, and uncompromising in its understanding of the remarkable things members of the human race have done - to, for, and against each other - in the wilderness of war" 

"The film offers a warts-and-all portrait of victims and saviors, forgoing the heroism inherent in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List (...) In Darkness is an agonizing experience (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"It is suspenseful, horrifying and at times intensely moving. But the ease with which it elicits these responses from the audience feels more opportunistic than insightful." 

"I's a long movie, but it compels you to experience something of what it was like to live for 14 months hungry, cold and knowing that at any minute the agents of a cruel, vindictive regime could arrive to treat you like the rats that shared your sewer." 

"A film that's very long, very dark, against Nazis, and of course 'based on a true story' (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
