Time Out New York
The movie succeeds in generating only mild outrage, tempered by impeccable tastefulness and the safe distance of time. Full Review

The New York Times
A well-meaning but inexpertly dramatized account of the roundup of 13,000 Parisian Jews in the summer of 1942. Full Review

Variety
Turning one of the darkest moments in modern French history into syrupy historical drama, writer-director Rose Bosch's The Round Up is a polished, pathos-driven re-creation of the Vichy regime's mass imprisonment and disposal of 13,000 Parisian Jews in summer 1942. Full Review

The Playlist
Stumbles out of the gate with a pacing that suggests a stern history lesson, despite warm performances from the cast and a polished look. Full Review
Michael Atkinson
Village Voice
Treading on a shameful piece of French history, Bosch bizarrely intercuts scenes of Hitler, Himmler, and Hess working out the logistics of the exportations, in vignettes that smack of "Inglourious Basterds" farce, but otherwise, she's got a steady grip on the tear-jerking, if that's your awards-season cocktail.
