Critic Reviews of "Amen."
Detroit Free PressJuly 25, 2003Costa-Gavras deserves credit for staying the course; in a time when most European film directors are wringing their hands, he's still pointing fingers.
Washington PostJune 27, 2003Tukur's performance is the centerpiece of the movie; it's a wonderful mixture of outrage and swiftly disappearing naivete.
NewsdayMay 28, 2003Costa-Gavras' political thrillers used to jab and thrust with lethal efficiency. This one just pounds against a heavy bag, huffing and puffing all the way.
Dallas Morning NewsMay 01, 2003In a remarkably subtle turn, the German Tukur is convincing as [Gerstein].
Denver Rocky Mountain NewsApril 11, 2003What should have been agonizing in its impact comes off as wooden, perhaps because Costa-Gavras works in schematic fashion, spoon-feeding us issues while skimming the historical surface.
Chicago ReaderMarch 14, 2003Amen., a docudrama rather than a documentary, is clearly guided by Shoah's example, asking us to reflect on the Holocaust and what made it possible rather than simply recoil from it.
Filmcritic.comSeptember 23, 2003a sputtering, wet firecracker
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsAugust 27, 2003Though Costa-Gavras brings nothing new to the table about the Holocaust, he puts another nail down in the argument that the world could have acted but didn't because of indifference.
Slant MagazineAugust 12, 2003Though such elements might chip away somewhat at Amen's seriousness of intent, they do add fire to the stimulating drama.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityAugust 01, 2003It's so inert, so slow-moving that it seems at least twice as long as it really is, and it manages to waste a potentially fascinating premise.
Salt Lake TribuneAugust 01, 2003Costa-Gavras often shortchanges the story's inherent drama for talky and strident speechifying.
Planet Sick-BoyJuly 16, 2003Extremely heavy-handed, almost comically repetitious, and way too long.
