Filme trágico, complexo, difícil – e que pode ser assistido em sessão dupla com O Pianista.

Roman Polanski's The Pianist may have been showered with Oscar glory ... but the best Holocaust film of 2002 was actually The Grey Zone.

Unlike Schindler’s List, ... this uses history to remind us of the tenuousness of our own morality, to remind us that ... most of us will never have to know what we might be capable of in certain circumstances.

The effort is sincere and the results are honest, but the film is so bleak that it's hardly watchable.

An intelligent and deeply felt work about impossible, irrevocable choices and the price of making them.

It's hard to imagine anybody ever being "in the mood" to view a movie as harrowing and painful as The Grey Zone, but it's equally hard to imagine anybody being able to tear their eyes away from the screen once it's started.

every time Steve Buscemi and Natasha Lyonne open their mouths, you think they're auditioning for a dinner theater version of Fiddler on the Roof.

Brings light to a little-known facet of the Holocaust in a way that does justice to its moral ambiguities.

Russell Lee Fine's handheld camera presses you repeatedly too close to the characters' perpetual fatigue and resilience, their pains to survive when they cannot.

If this story must be told and retold -- and indeed it must -- then The Grey Zone is to be lauded for finding a new and ingenious angle.

Effectively feeds our senses with the chilling sights and sounds from within the camp to create a completely numbing experience.

If stars could be awarded on the basis of good intentions, The Grey Zone should be king of the galaxy. Unfortunately, it lands on earth with something of a thud.

Even in its darkest moments, a heartening defiance underlies gut-wrenching calamity.

As bold and unyielding as The Grey Zone stands with its historical subtext, there are a few factors detracting from the powerful message.
