The Notebook Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The relentless calamity becomes a grind, offering few insights beyond ones that are obvious in the first half hour.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Chris Foran
Don't let its Nicholas Sparks-like title fool you.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A bleak, despairing testament to the cruelty of war, and how it mangles and defaces everyone it touches.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
If only I could figure out what all this was meant to stand for.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
[A] bracingly grim tale ...
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
This chilly piece of work is beautiful to look at and listen to.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Thoroughly unpleasant and at the same time completely unedifying.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kristin Tillotson
Not a movie for those who insist on happy resolutions, "The Notebook" is instead a study in how the nihilistic worldview that clouds the collective Eastern Europe sensibility came to be.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
By the end, you may feel exhausted by the parade of horrors. But veteran Hungarian director Jnos Szsz has the courage of his convictions, refusing to provide breathing room or false optimism.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Alternately powerful and perplexing.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
If one went into it knowing nothing of its origins, the film's lack of dramatic structure might suggest a singularly inept screenwriting exercise that somehow made it into production.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Szasz keeps the kids at such an emotional distance that even their notebook -- in which their father has commanded they commit everything they do, and think - does little to generate much emotional investment.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
This cautionary tale certainly has a chilling and timely message of how wars make monsters out of innocent people.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"The Notebook" is a skillfully made movie, with sequences that may haunt you after you leave the theater.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Straddling nihilism and a moral fastidiousness so "pure" it flirts with the very fascism it means to critique, The Notebook cedes not one solitary inch to humanism.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Though it features no battle scenes, The Notebook shines a powerful, unflinching light on the horrors of World War II.
AV Club
Benjamin Mercer
Not a shred of human decency is on display in The Notebook, a handsomely made, hard-to-endure World War II parable set in an unnamed Hungarian backwater during the Nazi occupation of 1944.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Director Jnos Szsz's sense of atmosphere is suitably chilling, but that's undermined by a lack of focus and broad-stroke portrayals.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
[A] sobering wartime drama ...
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Jnos Szsz's film is a thoroughly provocative WWII screed that almost deliberately goes out of its way to avoid sentimentality or bathos of any sort.
