Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
By all accounts, Taylor's play was a more experimental piece than this film, in which the production values, like the acting, veer between the acceptable and the stodgy.

fresh:
The subject -- self-deception and failure of nerve in an unjust world -- is too messy and horrible to laugh away.

rotten:
Good contributes very little to a conundrum that has occupied historians and psychologists for half a century.

fresh:
Good has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of 
 a 'good German' look creepily contemporary. He shows us the horror 
 of ignorance.

rotten:
It definitely wouldn't have done anyone involved with Good any harm to ask what relevance heavy-handed history plays have to do with the world of today.
