WHY WATCH THIS FILM? For Russell Crowe’s performance.
“It’s weird, in the year 2025, that it seems timely to point out that the Nazis were bad. But Nuremberg, an old-fashioned and satisfyingly complex morality tale in the guise of a courtroom drama and spy thriller, does that job in impressive style. Supercharged by James Vanderbilt’s smart script and snappy direction, and with an on-form cast, it plots a course through the immediate aftermath of World War II and into the legal nightmare of holding its German perpetrators to account.” Time Out
“It’s a solid film of a kind that used to be more common: an earnest, unpretentious Oscar Movie that wants to be seen by everyone, and consequently doesn’t try to be too complex or arty. It wants to educate and inspire as well as entertain, and isn’t shy about that ambition.” Roger Ebert
“Flawed to its core but never less than riveting, this historical drama about the Nuremberg trials benefits from a mesmerising Russell Crowe, as Hermann Göring.” The Times
