Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittA riveting re-creation of three world-changing collapses: those of the Nazi party, of militarized Germany as a whole, and of the Führer who guided them into self-destructive ruin.
About.com - 10/10 by Jurgen FauthDownfall is not only terrific cinema, it is also a history lesson, a gripping psychological study, and a dire warning.

Newsweek - 10/10 by David AnsenA meticulous, spellbinding, provocative depiction of the final days of the Third Reich.
JWR - 10/10 by S. James WeggAs Hitler, Bruno Ganz ignites the screen with every appearance: his rages against traitors and betrayal (perceived and real) are delivered with ugly conviction ....
