"It’s a disturbing work, guided by a discomforting sense of immaculateness that chills the viewer." - RogerEbert.com
"The director’s rigor is as unblinking as the score by Mica Levi is haunting, and Hüller and Friedel fearlessly explore the hollowed-out inner lives of two people who are at once shockingly evil and painfully ordinary." - Slate
"It’s a work that forces you to reexamine how we’ve processed this chapter of history and restores a proper sense of ungraspable horror." - Rolling Stone
