| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaAbordando o complexo tema com honestidade, inteligência e humanidade, esta obra-prima repleta de atuações inesquecíveis é um atestado da capacidade do Cinema em servir não só como retrato de nossa História, mas como profunda reflexão sobre a mesma. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzImportant fictionalized intense courtroom drama, which at times was engrossing. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherOn the point of the fundamental issue in the Nazi war guilt trials that were held in Nuremberg, Germany, after World War II, Stanley Kramer, the producer-director, has pinned a powerful, persuasive film.
