The Zone of Interest Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 4, 2025
While the cinematography is well done and the incredible sound design is haunting, this didn’t move the needle for me. Out of the 10 Oscar nominees for best picture, I’d place this last. Just felt like I was an observer of awful nazis, while terrible things are happening offscreen.
Rowan Krzysiak
January 6, 2025
It seems a bit wrong to judge this as entertainment at all given the subject matter but, there was a lot of hoo-ha about it so I was kinda excited going in. That said, I personally found it a bit boring and was disappointed. I get it and get what it was doing and for some it's likely an emotional sucker punch, sadly for me it wasn't.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
More than any movie I've seen this year, or perhaps any year, "The Zone of Interest" leaves you pondering the magnitude of what the banality of evil has wrought - and the terrible, inconsolable void that it leaves behind.
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
he Zone of Interest isn't the first World War II project to mine how mass murder became so banal for officers of the Third Reich; yet it proves shockingly effective, largely by stepping back and letting its characters reveal their true nature.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
"Zone" is a cruel but necessary experience and one of the great movies of the year - "Meet Me in St. Louis" with live ammunition and bodies stacked up just outside the frame.
AV Club
Manuel Betancourt
As a piece of observational cinema that borrows from the very visual grammar of nonfiction films, The Zone Of Interest is an instant classic, a masterpiece whose every gorgeously framed shot aims to stun you into silence.
The Film Verdict
Alonso Duralde
In the same way that some films forever change the context in which you hear a certain song, Jonathan Glazer's gutting WWII drama will, from now on, always come to mind whenever I hear a reference to Hannah Arendt and "the banality of evil."
Breakfast All Day
Christy Lemire
I am glad I saw this the way I did, and I also could not wait for it to be over.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"The Zone of Interest" is a dead film, but its heart is in the right place.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
It is a brilliant tactic, this brazen display of indifference and complicity, because it pointedly reflects our own.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
I've seen it twice and will see it again, not only being astonished by the craftsmanship displayed in every scene but for its timeless warning that resonates now and, sadly, forever. It's brilliant.
Boston Globe
Natalia Winkelman
The film is not just about a Nazi couple, or even just about the banality of evil. Rather, it is about the ways in which people close themselves off to destabilizing truths.
Chicago Reader
Joey Shapiro
It's a claustrophobic and uncomfortable viewing experience because it doesn't ask for our sympathy-it confronts us with our passivity.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The banal routine of commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife and children contrasts with the horrors happening next door.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The Zone of Interest takes enormous chances without enormous dramatic machinery.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The scenario that Glazer creates and the performances of his lead players serve as a portal, challenging viewers to morph from spectators to participants, grappling with the enduring truth that we're all capable of knowing evil when we see it.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A horror story about the past, and a cautionary tale for the present.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's a searing film, unforgettable in the worst way: You'll want to get away from it, but you can't.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
I don't think this is the banality of evil. I think it's the kind of screaming silent horror of indifference or callousness.
The New Republic
Jimmy So
Jonathan Glazer deliberately avoids the most familiar horrors of the Holocaust to show a further layer of inhumanity.
