I found this Oscar-nominated film overlong and ultimately disappointing.

Reviews for Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
...to shorten the discussions between Mohr and Scholl would have been to miss the point. She makes her lasting impression on Mohr, and us, not by violence, or cacophony, but by the persistence, patience and persuasiveness of her intellectual discourse...

[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
Devout but no saint, Sophie was one of those people whose moral gravity (helped by a wonderful family) bears witness for humanity when that is most needed.
04/21/06
The courage to act as she and her colleagues did in the worst possible scenario should inspire anyone, of whatever political stripe, to speak out before it gets to the point where her story could possibly be a true one.
04/21/06
Those with the courage to stick with director Marc Rothemund’s fact-based drama will discover a wrenching, infuriating and ultimately uplifting experience.
04/14/06
A disturbing film about courage, idealism, youth and the grim mechanics of mankind gone mad.
04/14/06
Frank and frightening.

Top CriticThe film's notions about the importance of free speech and the proliferation of ideas are obviously important -- it's a message that needs to be spread in our own uncertain times.
04/14/06
Interesting story, but the movie does nothing to stand out from the crowd
04/14/06
Electrifying ... As serenely played by Jentsch, Sophie is a heroine made radiant by the blinding truth of her moral convictions.
04/13/06
A true-life story told in the Perry Mason style, this German gem uncovers a slice of European history that many of us were unfamiliar with.

Sophie Scholl's is a story well worth telling, and this movie is one well worth checking out.
04/08/06
Top CriticOffers the rousingly cathartic spectacle of a young woman who stood up and did what the country has been accused for 70 years of failing to do: to its face, she told Hitler's Third Reich to shove it.
04/07/06
Top CriticA powerful, valid and worthy exercise, to be sure. But not emotional, and emotions are the fuel of cinema.
04/07/06
Highly personal and wrenching story.
04/07/06
Top CriticElegant in its moral and artistic simplicity
04/03/06
[Jentsch] creates a deeply human portrait of a courageous young woman at a moment when that kind of courage seemed in terribly short supply.
03/31/06
Top CriticRothemund and screenwriter Fred Breinersdorfer have locked themselves into an episodic structure that offers virtually no nuance.
