In spite of some manipulation and improbability, Rosenstrasse made me feel good for a good, historical reason, and it didn't minimize anyone's suffering in the process. Full Review |

This story is inherently dramatic enough to stand on its own, but von Trotta throws it off-kilter by framing her film within a dead-end, modern subplot. Full Review |

While most of Rosenstrasse is set in World War II, there are present-day, flash-forward sequences that are considerably less involving. Actually, they're so dull that they drag the entire movie to a screeching halt. Full Review |

The film is anchored in particular by the dual performances of Schade as the 90-year-old Lena and the magnificent Riemann as her younger counterpart. Full Review |

True story of one of the few attempts by Germans to launch protests against the Nazi dictatorship. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
Not uninteresting, and it is very nicely performed, although you'll strain to learn from the movie the history on which it is based and struggle futilely to get inside the motivations of its characters. Full Review |

3/5 |
The movie's disjointed flow makes it hard to watch the story unfold. Full Review |

3/5 |
The trite framework, static staging and unemotional acting render this a most forgettable Holocaust tale. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Has the never-ending wave of less-than-essential Holocaust movies begun to reduce the most horrific episode of the 20th Century to the level of just another genre? Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Succeeds as a testament to the power of love and, in particular, as a tribute to brave women. Full Review |

3/4 |

The episode...is a fascinating one, and potentially the stuff of powerful drama. But von Trotta blunts the impact. Full Review |

A Holocaust drama that proves it's possible to make a minor movie about a major subject. Full Review |

Lampe, Schrader and Riemann all do the best they can, but this film sinks under weight of the clunky screenplay by von Trotta and Pamela Katz. Full Review |
