Hannah Arendt Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Mary Creighton
It is an absolute treasure to see and inspires its viewers to return to the literature of this lauded thinker.
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
Von Trotta, however, smartly focuses on a brief, pivotal moment in Arendt's career...
Tablet
J. Hoberman
Hannah Arendt is ultimately a pleasure, because Sukowa plays the most forbidding of intellectuals as a fabulous, passionate doll.
Film Comment Magazine
Henry Giardina
Arendt, through the film's glamorizing lens, becomes a character impossible not to identify or agree with.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Barbara Sukowa delivers a beautifully modulated performance, showing the rigor of Arendt's thought and convictions while revealing the contours of a passionate woman with complex relationships.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
[Barbara Sukowa] invests Arendt with a steely fury, but the film, set during and after the 1961 trial of ex--Nazi official Adolf Eichmann, has an entertaining cocktail-banter superficiality.
RogerEbert.com
Ali Arikan
Von Trotta's direction is assured and the film has an incredibly strong performance at its core, and it asks a number of important questions, even though it doesn't dare to answer them.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Like A Hidden Method, David Cronenberg's drama about Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Hannah Arendt takes seriously the life of the mind.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
In an era of sleepwalking surrender, "Hannah Arendt" is a welcome wake-up call, a ringing reminder that warring forces first assemble on the battlefield of conscience.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Balanced portrayal, makes a persuasive case that Arendt was a valuable voice, whose dedicated work in trying to unravel the causes of Europe's moral collapse was worthy of study and consideration.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
A film that ultimately says more about banality than evil.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Spencer Doar
[A] moving examination of the limits of human understanding when confronted with evil.
Newsday
John Anderson
Mixed bag, fascinating in its treatment of the Eichmann case, but stilted in its treatment of Arendt and her coterie.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Sukowa, who is very appealing in some personal moments in the film, makes Arendt strong in a cool, logical, but humanly unrealistic position.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Barbara Sukowa's performance in the title role is the kind that reverberates long after the screen goes black.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Von Trotta includes actual footage of Eichmann's trial, simultaneously trivializing it and diminishing the rest of the movie to the vanishing point.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
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.
New York Daily News
Miriam Bale
It's the actual courtroom footage that's the most effectively deep and ambiguous thing in this well-crafted but static biopic.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Once we get to the Eichmann trial and its aftermath, it's mesmerizing.
AV Club
Nick Schager
A mildly intriguing drama of the often unavoidable and contentious intersection of intellectual analysis and personal prejudices.
