Mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality. In another film this would be the usual Hollywood hokum. In a film about the most serious subject imaginable, it amounts to moral idiocy.

Reviews for The Aryan Couple
1 - 12 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe whole thing is coarse and vulgar, as it hides its low fascinations behind a scrim of Holocaust piety until it becomes pure kitsch.
11/18/05
Top CriticA handsome Holocaust melodrama hobbled by a transparent and cartoonish script.
11/18/05
Top CriticPure sentimental melodrama, with not a moment's reflection on any issue larger than the fate of our heroes.
11/17/05
Top CriticPotentially powerful subject matter is given an unconvincingly melodramatic treatment.
12/18/04
Top CriticPic's dubious brand of heroism, half-baked historical sense, simplistic dialogue, flat staging and barely formed characters make for sluggish sledding.
12/09/04
Top CriticEngrossing and satisfying, The Aryan Couple shows just how vital a movie made in the solid British style of traditional filmmaking can be.
12/09/04
Top CriticA hokey soap opera set against the backdrop of the Holocaust.
12/06/04
Top CriticA few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score.
12/03/04
Top CriticA minor example of a major genre: the feel-good Holocaust movie.
12/02/04
Top CriticInsultingly seeks to soothe and comfort against the reality of atrocity.
12/02/04
Top CriticDaly ladles on the overwrought music and the moist close-ups, throwing in everything but Climb Every Mountain in a bid for our emotions.
