Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Though it remains a little too enigmatic, Marek Najbrt's Holocaust drama is atmospheric enough to keep us edgy on its heroine's behalf.
– Elizabeth Weitzman,

rotten:
Dipping in and out of luminous black and white, "Protektor" has a distancing glamour that prevents the story from digging in.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,

rotten:
Protektor is simply another in a long line of diluted stories about life during wartime, one whose diminished returns only further trivialize a legacy of real-life horror.
– David Fear,

rotten:
Najbrt gets the look and feel of noir fatalism down, but storytelling that alternates between roughshod and lethargic means the film doesn't hold together as much more than pretty fragments.
