Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
More than half of In Darkness takes place underground, shrouded in rank, oppressive shadows. But the movie also glows bright with life and hope.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
8 Mar 2012
fresh:
Based on the true story of Leopold Socha, a Catholic Polish sewer worker who hid a group of Jews over a period of 14 months in the underground tunnels of Lvov.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
8 Mar 2012
fresh:
The film is a morally challenging examination of the vexed Polish Catholic-Jewish relations of the era and a rich portrait of a man moving almost reluctantly toward righteousness.
– Colin Covert,

It positively clamours for your attention.
