Not particularly entertaining, but that's fitting rnough for an uncompromising Holocaust movie. But it's a great work of art.

...the hellish counterpart to The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, another film about the soulless march of the careerist’s life. Only in Glazer’s version, the march is a goose step.
