Operation Curveball

History is written by the victors, whereas satires really ought to be written by cleverer wits than these.

It's a slick and frequently very amusing film about a profoundly dispiriting period of history.

Well-acted and with a tone that's very hard to achieve... Johannes Naber does a great job delivering this true story to the screen. [Full review in Spanish]

An unbelievable story becomes reality here.

It's a mostly compelling and often infuriating telling of the tale, although it makes a strange choice in centering not on Curveball himself but a group of German officials

An entertaining, eclectic mix of fact and educated speculation, "Operation Curveball" is an unusual, scathing political comedy that owes a lot to the success of Kubrick's 1964 classic "Strangelove."

[Curveball's] tone doesn't quite focus... with its sporadic slapstick. [Full review in Spanish]
