The film was overly long and compared to other Holocaust films, did not make me feel the intensity of surviving int the sewer...it was good enough... t NOT A GREAT FILM. Full Review

A certain contender for 2012 award nominations. One of the most intense and emtional films I have ever seen. You literally forget at times you are... tching a film as opposed to being there watching in real time.The acting is first rate as is the cinematography. Not only is the story based on real events during the holocaust in Poland but it portrays the human fault line as never witnessed before in similar films. Full Review

Excellent movie, but half an hour could have been cut by not filming so much time in the sewers...that part was getting a bit boring...the point had... already been well made. Full Review

Quite a story about one brave Polish sewer worker who protects and saves Jewish citizens in Poland. This remarkable story tells how this sewer worker... hides these Jewish citizens in the sewers from the Nazis during World War Two. Full Review

In Darkness is an extraordinary movie, and somehow good art creates its own uplift.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

The fine Polish director Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa) pays her respects with a daringly murky-looking movie that demands viewers enter the void too and meet Socha and his Jews as real, flawed men and women behaving in flawed ways under suffocating conditions.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

In Darkness is gloomy and hard to take for a running time of 145 minutes, but it's an important film, related with deep conviction, and uncompromising in its understanding of the remarkable things members of the human race have done - to, for, and against each other - in the wilderness of war.Full Review

Rex Reed
New York Observer

In Darkness takes its place among the many great European films to tackle the subject. Plenty of quality-seeking adult moviegoers will be lured to the arthouse and thoroughly moved.Full Review

Boxoffice Magazine

What makes this nominee for the best-foreign-film Oscar singular among Holocaust movies is the way it characterizes the banality of life underground.Full Review
