Stalags Reviews
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Libsker's documentary not only explores the roots of the Stalags and the means by which they were produced and sold, but even does a little detective work into the identities of the authors themselves.
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
A chilling expose' which shows how Holocaust internees have been victimized twice, violated again by purveyors of smut who would stoop so low as to fabricate a pack of sadomasochistic lies for a quick buck.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The Israeli documentary Stalags, by Ari Libsker, should be subtitled, How To Turn a Sexy Subject Into a Boring Film.
New York Times
Laura Kern
Stalags carries this line of inquiry forward, cramming an overwhelming amount of information and ideas into its 63 minutes -- not nearly enough time to explore satisfactorily all that it raises.

Chris Cabin
Never less than enthusiastically fascinating
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Ari Libsker's film details how books like I Was Colonel Schultz's Private Bitch luridly conflated sex and violence.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Unfortunately, Ari Libsker's hour-plus docu on this potentially mind-boggling topic meanders disconnectedly, as various experts, collectors and storytellers kick around anecdotes and theories that tend to cancel each other out.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
However artless its presentation, Stalags imparts material that's difficult to shake off and impossible to dismiss.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Empowerment fantasies of a decimated and injured race, a kind of post-traumatic Jewish mother syndrome, or a bit of both? The film mulls these strange notions of the politics of pornography, that would have likely sent Freud's mind into a tailspin.
Film Journal International
David Noh
At once too short to truly delve into the themes it brings up, as well as too long.
New York Press
Felicia Feaster
[Director] Libsker rightfully questions how sex and sadism have become the distorting lens through which we think about the Holocaust.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
'Stalags' refuses to confront firmly the fine line at which individual or collective memory cannot distinguish myth from reality.
