	Media	Author	Review
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"A well-constructed, at times moving story (...) [It] keeps numerous side characters as half-drawn caricatures and then, toward the very end, makes several poor choices"
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A thriller made riveting by an emotional performance from Diane Kruger (...) [It has] concentrated passion and ability to move viewers"
		Nikola Grozdanovic The Playlist	"A lacklustre courtroom drama (...) Sadly, the core of ‘Fade’ is essentially banal, and the narrative is too blunt and inert to make any kind of lasting impression."
		Ben Croll The Wrap	"Diane Kruger shines (...) By no means a poor work, Fatih Akin’s film is just a solidly well made, straight-down-the-line drama; it neither reinvents the wheel nor tries to do so."
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"[It] starts well, but descends into ridiculousness (...) A pile-up of plot holes and wild story twists take it somewhere so crude that you’d be forgiven for finding it offensive (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An uncompelling and evasive treatment of a very contemporary subject (...) This is not Kruger’s finest hour. Nor Akin’s either (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader	"It remains a good movie, with an important message about the costs of intolerance and radicalization. It doesn’t, however, quite live up to the shattering power of its early moments"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A forceful Diane Kruger is the main asset (...) The story is riddled with questionable plot devices"
