Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

This handsome film is a splendid, stirring feat of the imagination. Read full review

Kim Morgan

We get director John Daly's feel-good tedium and a waste of a performance by the magnificent Landau. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

A few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score. Read full review

Michael Hardy

Despite its handsome photography and a few memorable performances, The Aryan Couple is mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality. Read full review

Dana Stevens

The problem, as it is so often in well-intentioned movies of this kind, is that rather than illuminate the enormity of Nazism, The Aryan Couple trades upon our knowledge of it for emotional impact. Read full review

Noel Murray

An oafish bore. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

The whole thing is coarse and vulgar, as it hides its low fascinations behind a scrim of Holocaust piety until it becomes pure kitsch. Read full review
