A frustratingly routine hagiography of someone most of us think we know all about, this doc respectfully summarizes the life of Nazi tracker Simon Wiesenthal without ever going too deep.

Reviews for I Have Never Forgotten You
Important documentary record of an extraordinary man.
04/23/07
Top CriticThe sheer power of Simon Wiesenthal's remarkable story is what propels this heartfelt documentary tribute.
07/28/07
Brilliantly captures the warmth and determination of this extraordinary man.
04/28/07
... the story of Wiesenthal is forced to compete with the sappiest of manipulative musical scores, a cheesy overemphasis on the Wiesenthal Center and its director, and a Hollywood mentality ...
06/14/07
Top Critic[A] surprisingly lively biography.
05/25/07
I Have Never Forgotten You salutes this bureaucratic detective as the man who first insisted that war crimes are sins that won't die unless they are dragged into the open.
05/23/07
Top CriticSerious documentary about one of the most important researchers of the 20th Century responsible for bringing major Nazi criminals to justice.
05/17/07
The film successfully contextualizes [Wisenthal's] legacy for a new generation.
07/05/07
Top CriticMore objective filmmakers might have delved a little deeper and produced something more real.
10/20/07
Top CriticA tragic, inspiring film.
07/31/07
Persuasive and engaging, if one-sided. It could be argued there is only one side to argue.
07/19/07
Top CriticThrough archival footage and numerous interviews, including one with Wiesenthal's daughter, a richly layered portrait emerges of a man steeled not so much for revenge as for justice.
05/24/07
At times one clamors for a slightly more creative, probing investigation of the consuming forces that drove Wiesenthal.
05/18/07
Effectively sketches Simon Wiesenthal’s life, from his tenacity in surviving genocide, to his determination to find and punish ex-Nazis after World War II.
05/24/07
Top CriticIt's an exercise in hero worship that couldn't be more justified, even though Wiesenthal would have been modestly embarrassed by the honor.
08/10/07
The film dramatically shows how many of the criminals on Wiesenthal's lists were eventually sent to jail or died from heart attacks or suicide when they were at last located.
06/29/07
Top Critic[Director] Trank is so busy fashioning [Wiesenthal] as a superhero that little light is shed on the man’s relentlessness and his stubborn determination to keep his data center in Vienna even under siege from a shabby Austrian smear campaign.
07/05/07
In this obviously loving, respectful and generous documentary, Simon Wiesenthal is presented as a lone warrior on the trail of Nazi war criminals.
07/20/07
Celebrity narration (by Nicole Kidman) and deft filmmaking necessarily take a backseat here to the anger, grief, and incongruous good humor of the man himself.
