CRITICS OF "Amen."

Deseret News, Salt Lake City

It's so inert, so slow-moving that it seems at least twice as long as it really is, and it manages to waste a potentially fascinating premise.

August 01, 2003

Washington Post

Tukur's performance is the centerpiece of the movie; it's a wonderful mixture of outrage and swiftly disappearing naivete.

a sputtering, wet firecracker

September 23, 2003

Chicago Reader

Amen., a docudrama rather than a documentary, is clearly guided by Shoah's example, asking us to reflect on the Holocaust and what made it possible rather than simply recoil from it.

Slant Magazine

Though such elements might chip away somewhat at Amen's seriousness of intent, they do add fire to the stimulating drama.

August 12, 2003

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Though Costa-Gavras brings nothing new to the table about the Holocaust, he puts another nail down in the argument that the world could have acted but didn't because of indifference.

Planet Sick-Boy

Extremely heavy-handed, almost comically repetitious, and way too long.

July 16, 2003

Salt Lake Tribune

Costa-Gavras often shortchanges the story's inherent drama for talky and strident speechifying.

August 01, 2003

Resource

Denver Rocky Mountain News

What should have been agonizing in its impact comes off as wooden, perhaps because Costa-Gavras works in schematic fashion, spoon-feeding us issues while skimming the historical surface.

April 11, 2003

Detroit Free Press

Costa-Gavras deserves credit for staying the course; in a time when most European film directors are wringing their hands, he's still pointing fingers.

Newsday

Costa-Gavras' political thrillers used to jab and thrust with lethal efficiency. This one just pounds against a heavy bag, huffing and puffing all the way.

In a remarkably subtle turn, the German Tukur is convincing as [Gerstein].
