- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Gosling's performance is riveting, and this fiery and imperfect feature shines as a demonstration of independent filmmaking at its most uncompromising."
-
"Unique and unforgettable"
-
"Persuasive, intelligent, and provocative"
-
"The film's anti-Semitism is articulate but wrong, and the conflict between what the hero says and what he believes (or does not want to believe) is at the very center of the story."
-
"The film's greatest strength undeniably lies in Gosling's revelatory portrayal of Danny."
-
"An amazing and incendiary movie that dives straight into the rough waters of contradiction"
-
"Treads an awfully thin line between the provocative and the exploitative."
