    could have been better done I think, was kinda confusing sometimes because it's foreign actors speaking English so you can't always understand them; otherwise was a really sad movie

    I like how it didn't show the horrors of the Holocaust and the director left it up to the viewer's imagination. It was a thoughtful film about how passivity toward persecution is unjust. I never knew the pope did not act on behalf of the Jews when he could have possibly saved some of them. I was angered at his lack of action.

    A drama about two men who didn't keep silence, and fought to announce the horrible crimes against the Jews for the Nazi.

    I saw this film in a festival years ago and many images from it have not leave my memory. It explores the holocaust from a different point of view. Provocative and raw, it will never leave your mind.

    Le seul matériel que je connais avec un point de vue entièrement allemand sur l'Holocauste. Un autre témoignage sur la bêtise humaine. La condescendance. Le mépris. Mais aussi l'INTÉGRITÉ. Un combat qui semble sans issue. Voilà pourquoi il manque la cinquième étoile. Il manque de lumière. Mais c'est une chose compréhensible étant donné le point de vue adopté par Costa-gavras. Le film est tout de même nuancé. Je pense au S.S qui est un peu catholique. Sans méchanceté apparente. Pragmatique. Presque attachant. Il incarne bien l'horreur. Un type normal, très normal qui est réglo et qui tire habillement son épingle du jeu. N'est-ce pas cet homme qui conclu le film sur une note absurde et provocante. Un vrai salo. Bravo pour les rôles et la profondeur des caractères.

    Too many films about the holocaust (I know! It's a important matter but...) and Amen did not project itself of the crowd , is touching but nothing that make me think in it, when I think in this kind of movies.-

    Um dos melhores filmes sobre a questão do holocausto, dessa vez contando o conflito interno de um general da SS compelido a praticar às barbáries do extermínio e buscando ajuda na omissa Igreja Católica. Bastante interessante.

    In my opinion,the greatest film about the pure violence used by the Germans during the World War II.Mathieu Kassovitz acts greatly.

    Una cinta con una importante trama pero contada con un tono monotono y aburrido. Pudo haber sido una gran cinta, pero se quedo con las intenciones.

    Difficile à regarder: triste, déprimant, fâchant. Ce film donne mal à la tête, mais nous force à se poser beaucoup de question. Bien joué, bien dirigé. Dur, mais brillant.

    ***

    This movie is hard to watch - it is depressing, sad an makes me mad too. But still, it's a great movie on WW2.

    I found this film to be brilliant and poignant, Gavras tries to hit the nail without the grandiose and power that I thought this film could have used, but his vision was good nonetheless.

    Some scenes could be more amazing had they been more depth and emotion in them, like the one where they look at the 'ovens'.
