	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"This harrowing but well-made film reminds us of the importance of giving testimony to atrocity and injustice"
		Scott Tobias Variety	"The film is a powerful reminder never to underestimate the historical evils that have been, and could again be, unleashed."
		Donald Clarke Irish Times	"[It] is a model of balance and responsibility throughout (...) There is enough incident to keep us on edge (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

		Martin Kudlac Screen Anarchy	"Pulse-racing Holocaust thriller (...) [It] also straddles the genre and arthouse filmmaking. The genre serves as a vehicle for an important message without overt didacticism, while building an emotional bridge with an audience"
