The Burning Wall Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
As familiar as much of this history may be, to hear it recounted by those who lived it lends it a new emotional immediacy.
Nitrate Online
Elias Savada
...not a frame of film is wasted in telling its story of lives tortured, drugged, humiliated, and terrorized by fascist, pro-communist ideology.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A frightening look at Communist-controlled East Germany.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Beller's history of dissent in the German Democratic Republic is admirably concise and surprisingly thorough.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A balanced, thorough and well-documented chronicle of how one Germany became two, then one again.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
On the surface, Beller's film is an acute primer on mid-century socialist statism gone inevitably screwy, but beneath it, there's something to be gleaned about the psychology of German nationhood.
