Son of Saul Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Brutal and brilliant, "Son of Saul" may be the most harrowing film ever made about the Holocaust, which should give you an idea of how hard it is to watch.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
An appalling, overwhelming descent into the heart of the Holocaust.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Important as it is essential, the movie is a remarkable achievement deserving of every honor and ounce of acclaim it has so far achieved, watching it a catastrophically profound experience I'm not soon to forget.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's a harrowing reminder of exactly why we must never forget.
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Son of Saul employs the formal mechanics of filmmaking to turn [its] ... questions back in on and around themselves, doing what cinema does best in the hands of great filmmakers: showing by not showing, telling by not telling.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Son of Saul is a masterwork that leads viewers right to the gates of hell.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's an extraordinary method of making this unfathomable act personal, a formalist experiment that yields stunning emotional dividends.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
Nemes, in his first feature, is a bold, experimental voice with a clear vision -- a filmmaker to watch and study for years to come.
The New Republic
Ethan Gates
Formally riveting, emotionally shattering, and astonishingly confident.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Nemes has made a gripping film almost entirely free of movie heroics or placating visual strategies. It's not an easy experience. Nor should it be.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Offers a crushing view of humanity at its most desperate, and a view of one man's fevered efforts to find grace and dignity amid the horror.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
The movie is at once clinical in its accumulation of small details and dreamlike in its execution, a waking nightmare through which Saul somnambulates, the audience right alongside him.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Distinctively different in subject matter and in the form of storytelling, it deserves serious attention.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A harrowing immersion into the lives of a lesser-known caste of prisoners in the camps. The film's ultimate message, however, is a puzzle.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
You will never shake this film off, ever, and that is a powerful and enriching thing.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
On the whole it's daring and committed, and in Röhrig's tremendously focused performance, it honors all the saints we'll never know.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Easily the most exciting new film I've seen over the past year.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
...a riveting, fascinating account of one man's struggle, in the face of terrible suffering, to salvage human dignity through a single act of religious piety. (Not that it's ever stated so prosaically, or stated at all. There is no need.)
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The opening sequence achieves the outer limits of film art. Movies simply don't get more powerful than this.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Finally, a cinematic genre heretofore mired in pietistic melodrama and safe aesthetic distance has been blown open and virtually reinvented, even the well-known contours of its subject matter reinvested with urgency, meaning and mournful honesty.
