Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The film is a competent but callow work dealing with a monstrous subject that automatically rejects callowness.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
24 Feb 2006
rotten:
One senses that Gansel took the most egregious stories from his research and stuffed them all into the shapeless script.
– Tom Keogh,
Seattle Times,
24 Feb 2006
fresh:
... hooks you by focusing on Friedrich's very human story.
– Ruthe Stein,
San Francisco Chronicle,
10 Mar 2006
fresh:
It asks us to sympathize with teenage boys being groomed for National Socialist glory, and for that reason alone, it absorbs.
– Amy Biancolli,
Houston Chronicle,
24 Mar 2006
rotten:
Nearly every point made in Before the Fall, be it about militarism or the secret sexual codes of fascism, is made too obviously, or has been made before, in films from Cabaret to Europa, Europa.
– Terry Lawson,
