Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It persuades us early on that its aura of political tension and suspicion, its taciturnity, its very strictness of silent observation as it begins, are fostering an intelligent thriller.
– Stanley Kauffmann,

17 Jun 2013
rotten:
Though the film runs a mere 105 minutes, it weighs on viewers like an eternity.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
21 Mar 2013
fresh:
The movie examines the possibility of maintaining one's humanity in a truly oppressive society.

fresh:

– Steven Rea,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
The occasional ravings of the patients, ringing off the walls in Petzold's measured quiet, provide an appropriate backdrop to the heroine's need for freedom, yet the movie's politics never trump its humanity.
