Leave your thoughts about Forgiving Dr. Mengele.
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA worthy addition to the ever-growing canon of Holocaust-related films. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderShort, simple but powerfully provocative documentary. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoAn extraordinary woman like Eva Kor deserves a less ordinary biography. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyWhat a surprisingly inspirational documentary this turns out to be -- and yet, it's not afraid to be straight to the point. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThis moving film explores the trauma of a Holocaust survivor with rare complexity. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn impressively polished documentary by Bob Hercules and Cheri Hughes. Perhaps even more thought-provoking than its co-helmers intended, pic is bound to spark conversations and debate. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe very title suggests that this compelling and provocative film is going to be different from other Holocaust documentaries. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThough some of the heated exchanges in Forgiving Dr. Mengele seem awkward and staged, they put Kor at the center of a riveting debate over how best to come to terms with past horrors, and the potential (and limits) of putting them to rest. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghKor's intentions are beyond reproach, but her campaign raises discomfiting questions. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA thought-provoking documentary about the difficulty people have with the spiritual practice of forgiveness. |
