Marc Rothemund's treatment is oppressively dull and unimaginative.
12/06/05
The movie reminded me of one of those books for young readers that skims the surface, taking care to avoid any material that might contradict or confuse.
03/30/06
Rothemund and screenwriter Fred Breinersdorfer have locked themselves into an episodic structure that offers virtually no nuance.
03/31/06
Top CriticThe Scholls were obviously courageous people. It's a shame this film isn't more of a tribute to their bravery.
03/24/06
There is little sense of what sets this seemingly ordinary girl apart and gives her her steely resolve.
02/23/06
Sophie Scholl perpetuates the celluloid mythologizing of the second World War, filtering the banality out of real events and people, replacing them with heroic posturing.
02/16/06
Top CriticI found this Oscar-nominated film overlong and ultimately disappointing.

...a worthy subject, but it doesn't translate into much more than good TV drama.
03/23/06
Although Sophie Scholl is noteworthy for its performances, it will undoubtedly fail to capture the popular imagination here.
03/01/07
While Scholl's virtuous life makes her eminently worthy of her own biopic, it doesn't necessarily make her the most interesting subject for a movie.
06/30/06
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days wants to avoid the sentiment that is inherent in the details of her tragic demise, but in doing so, it's leeched the emotional power out of her life and death.
02/24/06
German actress Julia Jentsch is phenomenal in the lead role, bringing a vulnerability to a character perhaps a bit too perfect on the page.
02/25/06
Sophie Scholl has a certain quiet dignity that wins its audience popularity honestly.
02/22/06
[Sophie and Hans] embody the adolescent faith that any political action is better than none, and the movie couldn't treat them more glowingly if their actions had been effective.
05/03/06
This seeming psychological incongruity made Sophie more human and more heroic to me, as well as more worthy of the deep respect that George Bernard Shaw and Danish filmmaker Carl Dreyer expressed for Saint Joan.
