- 90Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSpecial kudos go to Martin Ziaran’s innovative, at times vertiginous and even upside-down camerawork, which lends a you-are-there feel to the film’s already viscerally unnerving action. It’s a master class in cinematography.

- 80The GuardianLeslie FelperinThe GuardianLeslie FelperinEven for those who know about the Auschwitz Protocols – a report to which the pair contributed that has a weighty legacy in Holocaust history – the film is still intensely impactful. Inevitably, it is profoundly upsetting and disturbing.

- 70Screen RantMae AbdulbakiScreen RantMae AbdulbakiThe film, directed by Peter Bebjak from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jozef Pastéka and Tomás Bombík, is urgent, effective, and also deeply painful.
