Reviews

  • A taut, unnerving, forcefully unromantic fictional film.

    Manohla Dargis - The New York Times

    19 January 2013

  • A long but powerful true-life drama of 1970s German terrorists features masterful storytelling and bravura performances.

  • A fascinating hybrid of a film. Even though its purpose couldn't be more serious, its style could hardly be more pulp.

    Kenneth Turan - Los Angeles Times

    19 January 2013

  • Seems propelled by a doomed sense of inevitability and is all the more gripping for it.

    Ann Hornaday - The Washington Post

  • For a thoroughly fascinating, true glimpse into the horrors that vanity and self-delusion can wreak, take some time to see The Baader Meinhof Complex.
