Set in a specific time and place, 1945 also resonates as a story of people doing terrible things to other people in the name of opportunity and getting ahead. It hits home at a time when the idea of loving thy neighbor feels sadly passé. Jun 20, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

A town wracked with guilt must come to terms with the horrors of its war atrocities in "1945," a somber drama set in the immediate aftermath of WWII. Apr 27, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

This film adds to a growing list of Holocaust dramas and documentaries that move past the guilt of Nazi Germany to ponder the complicity of smaller communities in eastern Europe. Apr 5, 2018 | Full Review…

Features an intrusive sound design, including Tibor Szemzö's jarringly contemporary score and sound effects that include the ringing of a clock tower, buzzing flies, rumbling thunder and noisy birds... Apr 4, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Torok juggles plenty of characters and themes - guilt, greed, Russian meddling, the Holocaust, justice - but he always remains firmly in control of his story. Every frame is meticulously crafted. Apr 3, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The darkness of wartime reaches not only into one day in August. In this muted but powerful film, Török is also commenting, obliquely but effectively, on the rise of far-right nationalism and anti-Semitism in present-day Hungary. Nov 26, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film's straightforward but effective narrative holds few surprises while the talented cast strengthens the storytelling especially Péter Rudolf who makes a smooth transition from comedy to drama. Oct 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Marvellously directed and acted, 1945 shows how those who practice deception for their own ends are likely to pay the price and in ways they may not foresee. Oct 17, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Handsomely shot in black and white and just 91 minutes, Torok's picture does not linger long, yet it manages to say so much that matters. Oct 15, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As nationalist fervour and racism strengthens in modern-day Hungary, it is admirable that 1945 has been made at all. Oct 12, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's the original slant that 1945 offers on the Holocaust that makes it essential, if bleak viewing. Oct 8, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
