Great film-making in realistically portraying the Russian treatment of Germans in their Berlin invasion at the end of WW II, while also being... ining overall (a difficult juxtaposition to achieve) . Powerful in its impact. Full Review

This movie is an powerful testament to the survival instinct in conflict with personal human dignity and ethical considerations. Although it is... emely difficult to watch because of its visceral depiction of personal degradation and assault, the triumph of this woman's spirit who managed to act with courage and conviction under the most dire of ************* is more than compelling, it is inspiring. An woman of intelligence grappling with the deepest of issues in an era of hysterical indoctrination and coercion is most timely in relevance today. I recommend this movie absolutely and I hope everyone watches it. I rate it with the beautiful french film: Serafine, as a true witness of human nature turning to higher principle to endure the unendurable. Full Review

That the film manages to be understated, calm and intelligent in spite of its wrenching subject matter is perhaps its most impressive accomplishment. In avoiding sensationalism, it feels very close to the truth.Full Review

It's intelligent, provocative and intensely dramatic. Its subject matter may be tough but it is as powerfully authentic as anyone could want.Full Review

A distinctive achievement, a World War II movie unlike any other and one of the few films ever to address a topic that makes almost everyone want to look away: What happens to women in wartime.Full Review

A Woman in Berlin is like a tour through the blast-cratered psyche of two colliding cultures, each with its own nightmarish tales to tell or acts of violence to experience.Full Review

Austin Chronicle
The film is well-acted, with restraint, by Hoss and Sidikhin. The writer and director, Max Faerberboeck, employs a level gaze and avoids for the most part artificial sentimentality. The physical production is convincing.Full Review
