Capably narrated by Kevin Costner, Ever Again is a mixed bag, briskly edited, good-looking but suspect in some of its logic.

Reviews for Ever Again
Credit Ever Again with accomplishing a mission that one would hope had become superfluous by now, delineating a vehement anti-Semitism that can be found on the far right and the far left -- and that by no means confines itself to Germany.
This documentary, by an arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, seeks to stir up outrage about recent bursts of anti-Semitism in Europe.
While the movie does raise awareness... it also relies on fear-mongering tactics (see title) rather than cohesive argument to foment outrage.
... a profoundly disturbing -- and depressing -- look at the New Anti-Semitism of the post-9/11 world.
[The film] succeeds in making the case that the hatred that seemed dead and buried 60 years ago is alive and growing and beginning to present itself once again as a threat to humane civilization.
Richard Trank's short documentary focuses on the rise of anti-Semitism among Muslims and neo-Nazis in Europe.
The information in the film is frightening, to say the least, but as a documentary, the film has serious flaws.
What makes this movie worth seeing, is, ironically, exactly what may deter potential audiences: It's a rigorous, almost academic examination of a venomous hatred rooted in the past, primed to poison the future.
There's plenty of disquieting material here, but I wish the film were less antagonistic in its own right.
It has a sketchy quality that will prove unsatisfying to those looking for something a bit thematically deeper than a simple warning bulletin.
Ever Again is laudable in its intent but less than impressive in its execution.
Director, writer and co-producer Richard Trank packages an alarming report with abundant news clips, quotes and interviews.
