Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Like all of Morris' films, "Mr. Death" provides us with no comfortable place to stand.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Mark Robison
Fascinating stuff.
Offoffoff
Joshua Tanzer
As Errol Morris shows us how this strange little man got into the execution business and Holocaust denial, we should ask ourselves: Did we create 'Mr. Death'? Is he us?
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Ultimately, Leuchter comes across not as a fundamentally bad man, just a hopelessly deluded one, a technician overly impressed with his own expertise and infallibility, a small figure blindly sucked into the vortex of consummate evil...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Think of "Mr. Death" as the best comedy-horror documentary about the Holocaust ever made.
Movie Gurus
James O'Ehley
Despite its morbid subject, this documentary is far funnier than one would expect.
