Full Plot Details

In 1940, German soldier Hans Quangel (Louis Hofmann) is killed in action during the French campaign. His parents, Otto (Brendan Gleeson) and Anna (Dame Emma Thompson), are devastated by the loss and their bereavement is unmollified by the joyful hysteria at Germany's victory. Deciding that Führer Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime are responsible for this tragedy and much more, Otto cannot stand by any longer. As such, Otto begins to create handwritten cards denouncing the regime's abuses and lies, which he secretly deposits throughout Berlin while a disillusioned Anna insists on helping him. As the subversive cards pile up over the years, Police Detective Escherich (Daniel Brühl) is tasked to track down the leafleteer while being pressured by his increasingly impatient S.S. superior for an arrest for this "treason", regardless of actual guilt. As the stakes rise even as Nazi Germany's day of reckoning approaches, Otto and Anna are determined to spread the truth regardless of the odds, even as their opposition awaits the fatal mistake that could doom them.

Movie Reviews

National Post - 8/10 by Chris KnightThe story provides satisfaction, not least from Emma Thompson as Otto's wife and sometimes partner in crime. She's so good that she shows up lesser supporting actors; hardly her fault.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Jessica KiangThere is always something of value in the sincere recreation of ordinary heroism. And Perez’ film does sincere if ordinary justice to the idea that where there is a will for it, resistance can find a way, be it so small as to be postcard-sized.
The Mail on Sunday (UK) - 8/10 by Matthew BondBased on a true story, this modest tale of doomed German resistance -- something we don't hear a lot about -- is as powerful as it is insightful and moving.
Sydney Morning Herald - 8/10 by Sandra HallIt's that juxtaposition -- of the hellish against the ordinary -- which gives the film its punch.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Justin ChangAlone in Berlin is ultimately hobbled by its own cinematic inertia, its inability to reimagine the past with the kind of intensity that would also speak to the present.
New Zealand Herald - 8/10 by Toby WoollastonDaniel Brühl superbly negotiates a delicate balance between sympathy and duty, and Thompson and Gleeson produce warm and believable performances, allowing me to be carried along with their plight - the necessity of free speech to keep the wolves at bay.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Richard RoeperWhen Alone in Berlin reaches the end of its journey, it’s the performances of Gleeson and Thompson that ensure we’ll never forget the bravery of Otto and Anna.
Cinemalogue - 7/10 by Todd JorgensonThis handsomely mounted and well-acted World War II drama lacks the narrative urgency to match its heartfelt sincerity.
The Australian - 7/10 by David StrattonThis is the third feature directed by Swiss actor Perez, and though it's visually handsome it tends rather towards the bland, making what should have been a powerfully emotional story about courage and self-sacrifice rather too tasteful and muted.
New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAdapted from Hans Fallada’s 1947 novel (and based on a true story), Alone in Berlin is dour and flavorless.
