Nuremberg

...handsomely produced, eminently watchable, old-school filmmaking, with gorgeous cinematography and a magnetic turn from the great Russell Crowe.

Nuremberg isn't subtle, but it turns out prosecuting Nazis doesn't need to be.

What should represent the soul of this film is merely its coda. While it pleads for us to reckon with the ugliest of truths, it shuts the curtains before its own reckoning is done.

Crowe is magnetic as the unrepentant Nazi leader, but Nuremberg intends more heft than it achieves.

Though Nuremberg has a surprising sense of humour, including several amusing smash-cuts, Vanderbilt is careful to give the weighty material the respect and space it deserves.

Telling a story set in the past can be a great way to talk about the present. “Nuremberg” does this.
