Top CriticThe movie is history as kitsch, not quite on the Life is Beautiful level of manipulation, but clumsy.
03/19/02
Top CriticPerformances aside, the movie is dull and perfunctory.
01/01/00
Top CriticOnly when we delve deeper into the material does it become apparent that the director has a more ambitious agenda, and that agenda makes The Harmonists a satisfying experience.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe film is filled with stylish renditions of lively, funny and sentimental songs.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe story of the Comedian Harmonists, who brought to the waning days of Weimar a bubbly frivolity, is a rich one. Rich enough to keep you watching and wanting to know more.

Top CriticA glorious surprise.
01/01/00
Top CriticGiven the suffering created by the Nazis, the fate of the Harmonists ranks low on the scale. But as one of the countless little stories that add up to the plague of Nazism, they deserve an entry in the chronicle of despair.
01/01/00
Top CriticAs director, Vilsmaier again has a firm grip on tone and pace.
01/01/00
Top CriticA true story from the Nazi era, it deftly fuses politics and show business.
