Outstanding documentary. Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Takes an overly familiar talking-heads-and-stock-footage approach to its subject, but it doesn't obscure the remarkable life it chronicles. Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Only partially successful in its aims. As a film it lacks the epic sweep you sense in its subject's life: The narration by the director is flat, the presentation of events dutiful.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Earnest, dutiful and hagiographic but hardly a stirring presentation. Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

Mr. Doblmeier’s film would benefit from more of a wallop, given the number of documentaries using Nazi Germany as a context. The director's heart is in the right place, though he seems to be shy about showing how big it is.Full Review
