Resistance

"A bizarre and half-baked Holocaust thriller (....) 'Resistance' is lost in the muddy water somewhere between a superhero origin story and a heroic portrait of artistic survival." 

"A fresh entry point to an otherwise familiar if ever relevant subject.(...) 'Resistance' tells a story that’s plenty strong on its own terms" 

"An involving if imperfect look at humanism amidst atrocity (...) Though largely familiar in its feel, dramatizes a question that has become urgent for many in recent years: How does one best resist hatred — by fighting its proponents, or rushing to assist its targets?" 

"It’s hard not to think of Richard Attenborough’s pushy and unfunny Chaplin in some of Eisenberg’s energetic but flat scenes (...) In most other aspects, however, Resistance functions (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Yes, 'Resistance' takes dramatic license (...) Still, there’s no doubting the emotional commitment of all involved to a story that honors the communal struggle against deadly forces (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] feels disjointed and dated. Lukewarm romantic subplots play like cursory afterthoughts, inserted to pander to audience expectations" 

"A tense and gripping thriller (...) Although Marceau is the linchpin for the narrative, he and his mime artistry don’t overwhelm the story and sometimes even take a backseat to the film’s many characters and events"
