"My God, we should all see this movie. Show it again and again."
— Monica Hesse, Washington Post
"A strikingly intelligent portrayal of one of history’s most consequential legal proceedings."
— Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
"As is the case with most period dramas, Nuremberg is in direct conversation with the moment it was made."
— Rocco T. Thompson, Slant Magazine
"Nuremberg is well paced, as a thriller, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of history and the human capacity for evil and for good. It is never didactic or heavy-handed."
— Nell Minow, Movie Mom
"Backed by a roster of powerhouse performances led by Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon, the commanding production looks like it could be an award-season contender."
— Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter
"Crowe’s impeccable German accent and hauteur are Oscar-wattage, complemented by restrained and resonant performances by Rami Malek as an American psychiatrist with his own agenda."
— Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
"Nuremberg may just be one of the most important films of this season, if only for its timely reminder that criminals—even if their actions are justified by the regime in power—can be brought to justice."
— Christopher Llewellyn, Reed Hammer to Nail
"Dominating the film are the stunning performances of Crowe, truly immersing himself in one of his best, if most difficult, roles as the duplicitous Goring, and Malek, whose Kelley is the unsung hero of it all."
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily
"Nuremberg remains one of strongest films I saw at TIFF in a sea of strong contenders: a riveting character study and courtroom drama, driven by powerhouse performances and wrapped into one slick package."
— Alfred Castaneda, Shade Studios
"This movie isn’t consumed with self-importance, despite some obvious parallels to current events. This is entertainment that happens to be rooted in reality about a day of reckoning the likes of which the world hasn’t seen in a long, long time"
— Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com
"An all-star period effort that leans entertaining, though gets deadly serious exactly when it needs to, the film hinges on the matching of wits between Rami Malek as an Army psychiatrist and Russell Crowe as one of the most evil men in the world."
— Brian Truitt, USA Today
"Tightly scripted & confidently directed by James Vanderbilt, the verbal sparring between Malek's psychiatrist & Crowe's Hermann Goring is reminiscent of the manipulative maneuvering between Clarice Starling & Hannibal Lecter in 'The Silence of the Lambs.'"
— Susan Granger, SSG Syndicate
