Storm is harrowing, provocative and deeply probing yet quite involving.

Reviews for Storm
1 - 9 (sorted by date)
Top CriticHans-Christian Schmid marshals his material on an epic canvas whereas the subject might have been better suited to a more intense and contained treatment.
11/05/09
A mostly riveting, well-acted and compelling drama that slightly fizzles out during its rushed third act.
11/01/09
Gives conscience a good name and proves the world needs more women warriors to uphold the cause of justice.
10/30/09
A political thriller with real-world resonance.
10/30/09
Top CriticIn this taut drama about the trial of a Bosnian Serb general from German director and co-writer Hans Christian Schmid, we see how justice can be subverted by interests as banal as international bureaucracy, despite the best intentions...

Top CriticThe portrait may be accurate but Schmid's overly muted take on the story hardly does justice to the stark terror and injustice that lies at its core.
10/29/09
It may sound like a simple lawyer-fights-for-righteousness tale, but this ostensible thriller is really an examination of two courageous female protagonists, both of whom find defeat at the intersection of the personal and the political.
10/28/09
The writing by director Hans-Christian Schmid and Bernd Lange is more stilted and righteous than even the U.N. environs, with its humanity-embracing procedural-speak, calls for.
