A Woman in Berlin Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Though the story is based in truth, an emotionally removed Hoss feels more like a symbol than an actual person, while her detached narration keeps us at further remove.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Sometimes a movie based on true events is forceful out of all proportion to its middling presentation.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A clear-eyed portrait of a highly charged chapter in Germany's history, a history that once again proves rewarding fodder for an alert artistic imagination.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is well-acted, with restraint, by Hoss and Sidikhin. The writer and director, Max Faerberboeck, employs a level gaze and avoids for the most part artificial sentimentality. The physical production is convincing.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A sprawling, difficult, powerful film.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
[A] brutal, unforgettable film.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A Woman in Berlin, which is based on an anonymously written memoir of the same name, serves also as a testimony to women who put men in their place.
Slant Magazine
Ryan Stewart
As quickly as possible, the initial, brutal encounters are concluded and the film is hurried along to its second, plot-heavy incarnation as a healing-and-reconciliation drama.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
That rarest of wartime dramas: an intimate, sorrowful glimpse into the heart and loins of the hellish aftermath of war.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
No one is guiltless-not the Russian commander (Yevgeny Sidikhin) who takes the heroine as his lover, nor her bourgeois landlady (Fassbinder alumnus Irm Hermann), who welcomes the occupiers for their black market goods.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
However and wherever you see it, A Woman in Berlin is a distinctive achievement, a World War II movie unlike any other and one of the few films ever to address a topic that makes almost everyone want to look away: What happens to women in wartime.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
One of the best of a new breed of indigenous movies prying open the Pandora's box of German suffering in World War II.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This sobering account of such tragic events deserves kudos for avoiding sensationalizing a subject matter that easily could be exploited.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Like The Reader, this film treads unsteadily over the terrain of German guilt.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a rigorous adaptation, handsomely mounted and with fine performances, but totally impersonal.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Though deliberately paced and somewhat repetitive, it's...powerful and enlightening.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
The suffering of these Berlin women, however tragic, is decontextualized from the infinitely greater crimes against humanity's millions by Germany at the time, which in fact was responsible for their fate.
MTV
Kurt Loder
A disturbing memoir of rape and conquest.
