Hannah Arendt Movie Review: | |
It's involving, as biopics go, but the shattering debates that still swirl around Arendt's view of the Holocaust are relegated to walk-ons. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post It's the actual courtroom footage that's the most effectively deep and ambiguous thing in this well-crafted but static biopic. Miriam Bale-New York Daily News Once we get to the Eichmann trial and its aftermath, it's mesmerizing. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com My only real problem with "Hannah Arendt" is that it's not a mini-series. A.O. Scott-New York Times Being accused of rationalizing the Third Reich and disowned by Zionist friends doesn't provide a lot of drama, but the relentless focus on figuring out how we are to think about the Final Solution can be compelling. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York The writer-philosopher Hannah Arendt is brought to life by a mesmerizing Barbara Sukowa in Margarethe von Trotta's film. Marsha McCreadie-Village Voice Veteran German director Margarethe von Trotta has perhaps her strongest film to date with Hannah Arendt, yet another of her works about historically important women. Also notable is the superb cast led by Barbara Sukowa. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International The chick flick gets a magnificent makeover, so to speak, for something other than the usual sex and romance. Delving into the intellectual life of the defiant philosopher and provocative theorist of the 'banality of evil, as politically potent today. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio [Sukowa] and von Trotta accomplish something unusual in a movie: They make thinking dramatic. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News An emotionally compelling and provocative character study of a brave, intelligent woman. Barbara Sukowa delivers a bravura performance. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru A mildly intriguing drama of the often unavoidable and contentious intersection of intellectual analysis and personal prejudices. Nick Schager-AV Club The film's point is made in the contrast of staunch stick-to-her-guns individual Hannah Arendt as against the personality-less bureaucratic Nazi official. Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews The film's most striking quality, and it's not insignificant, is director Margarethe von Trotta's refusal to fossilize the controversies she dramatizes. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Riveting biopic about the first target of the Israel lobby. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews A watchable, even suspenseful portrait of a woman who spends most of the film smoking cigarettes, sitting at typewriters or sparring at dinner parties.
