"'Schindler's List' is a film whose meanings are to be found less in its uplifting outline than in its harrowing flow of images -- images of fear, hope, horror, compassion, degradation, chaos, and death" |
|
|
|
|
|
"Rising brilliantly to the challenge of this material and displaying an electrifying creative intelligence, Mr. Spielberg has made sure that neither he nor the Holocaust will ever be thought of in the same way again" |
|
|
|
|
|
"What is most amazing about this film is how completely Spielberg serves his story. The movie is brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" |
|
|
|
|
|
"Because this film touches us so deeply, the catharsis has a power that few -- if any -- other moments in film history can match. And that's what establishes this as a transcendent motion picture experience." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Schindler's List, despite blatant compromises, is a rending historical document" |
|
 |
|
|
"Heartbreaking retelling of one man's affront to the Nazis (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)" |
|

|
"A movie that falls outside the ordinary, or even the extraordinary. There is enormous passion and artistic integrity throughout this film" |
|
|
|
|
|
"A remarkable work by any standard (...) evinces an artistic rigor and unsentimental intelligence unlike anything the world’s most successful filmmaker has demonstrated before." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Spielberg gives us Schindler's story with such conviction and urgency, such overwhelming visual sweep and force, that he keeps us virtually mesmerized for three hours." |
|
|
|
|
|
"With flawless precision, the movie flows seamlessly between a virtual newsreel approach and a slightly more direct narrative technique that characterized the film's three dominant characters" |
|
|
|
|
|
"'Schindler's List' is three partial films in one, a harrowing pseudo-documentary, an effective melodrama, and an embarrassing piece of kitsch movie- making" |
|
|
|
|
|
"Brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen. Individual scenes are masterpieces of art direction, cinematography, special effects, crowd control." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Director Steven Spielberg has achieved something close to the impossible--a morally serious, aesthetically stunning historical epic that is nonetheless readily accessible to a mass audience." |
|
|
|
|
|
"The film’s long middle section, which describes the working of the death camps, is concrete and utterly terrifying, certainly the most intense and uncompromising depiction of the Nazi horror ever to appear in a fiction film." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Ultimately, the film is memorable as much for simple testimony as for the cinematic art it displays." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Spielberg has created one of the most shocking movies yet made about the Holocaust and one of the most inspiring" |
|
|
|
|
|
"By any measure, the horrifying yet powerfully uplifting 'Schindler's List' from director Steven Spielberg is a milestone in the art of filmmaking" |
