Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: [A] brutal, unforgettable film. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: No one is guiltless-not the Russian commander (Yevgeny Sidikhin) who takes the heroine as his lover, nor her bourgeois landlady (Fassbinder alumnus Irm Hermann), who welcomes the occupiers for their black market goods. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Sometimes a movie based on true events is forceful out of all proportion to its middling presentation. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Though the story is based in truth, an emotionally removed Hoss feels more like a symbol than an actual person, while her detached narration keeps us at further remove. Read more
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: A Woman in Berlin, which is based on an anonymously written memoir of the same name, serves also as a testimony to women who put men in their place. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The film is well-acted, with restraint, by Hoss and Sidikhin. The writer and director, Max Faerberboeck, employs a level gaze and avoids for the most part artificial sentimentality. The physical production is convincing. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: However and wherever you see it, A Woman in Berlin is a distinctive achievement, a World War II movie unlike any other and one of the few films ever to address a topic that makes almost everyone want to look away: What happens to women in wartime. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: Read more
Ella Taylor, Village Voice: One of the best of a new breed of indigenous movies prying open the Pandora's box of German suffering in World War II. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: A clear-eyed portrait of a highly charged chapter in Germany's history, a history that once again proves rewarding fodder for an alert artistic imagination. Read more
