When Ruth's husband dies in New York in 2000, she imposes strict Jewish mourning, which puzzles her children. A stranger comes to the house--Ruth's cousin--with a picture of Ruth, age 8, in Berlin, with a woman the cousin says helped Ruth escape. Hannah, Ruth's daughter engaged to a gentile, goes to Berlin to find the woman, Lena Fisher, now 90. Posing as a journalist investigating intermarriage, Hannah interviews Lenam who tells the story of a week in 1943 when the Jewish husbands of Aryan women were detained in a building on Rosenstrasse and the women gathered daily for word of their husbands. The film goes back and forth to tell Ruth and Lena's story. How will it affect Hannah?
Leave your thoughts about Rosenstrasse.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie is woven with care and complexity, again confirming von Trotta's place as one of the world's greatest female filmmakers. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA heartwarming and suspenseful look at a little-known event that occurred when 'Aryan' women risked their lives to save their Jewish husbands during WWII. |
| Dallas Morning NewsAngel GonzalezThe film opens a window into the fact that not all good Germans were cowed during those dark times. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottVon Trotta has made the story lucidly painful, and only a brick would not be moved. But she has also padded it, rather than burrowing tightly into the protest and its details. |
| Christianity TodayAgnieszka TennantIn spite of some manipulation and improbability, Rosenstrasse made me feel good for a good, historical reason, and it didn't minimize anyone's suffering in the process. |
| Seattle TimesMisha BersonFor all its flaws, Rosenstrasse is a welcome reminder that humans are capable of valor and generosity in the worst of times. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinVon Trotta may have taken on too much -- her film suffers from a surfeit of characters with complicated back stories. Nevertheless, I prefer it to the movies I usually see that set out to do too little. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisThe heart of the film is so strong that its images of love and devotion shared by wives and husbands on the edge of an abyss remain indelibly etched in one's memory. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The incidents at Rosenstrasse deserve a good movie, but Rosenstrasse is not it. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMost important is the film's consistent unexpectedness. Rosenstrasse captures well not only the varying states of mind and levels of awareness in Germany during World War II but also the era's lingering effect upon its survivors. |
