Reception
On Film Threat, Tom Atkinson scored the film an 8 out of 10 writing in his review consensus section: "beneath the intellectual thicket lies real emotional heft."[2] On Crooked Marquee, Josh Bell rated it a "C−" describing it as "tedious" and "stilted drama".[3]
Writing for The Forward, PJ Grisar praised Samuel H. Levine's performance as Hitler, and commenting on the film wrote that "from the first minute, Ledes’ film is overstuffed with enough ideas to bowl over Tom Stoppard."[4]
