Nov 18, 2012

Stumbles out of the gate with a pacing that suggests a stern history lesson, despite warm performances from the cast and a polished look. Read full review

Sentimentality may make the movie's agony more digestible, but its darkness resists any glossing over of what isn't only France's, but Europe's painful legacy. Read full review

Ty Burr

Nov 11, 2012

A big, sorrowful, dramatically trite period epic about a bleak chapter in the history of modern France. Read full review

Stan Hall

There are two halves to La Rafle. The successful one involves the personal tribulations of the families and other souls who were jammed into a Paris velodrome for days under intolerable conditions. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Nov 16, 2012

A well-meaning but inexpertly dramatized account of the roundup of 13,000 Parisian Jews in the summer of 1942. Read full review

Kate Taylor

Nov 11, 2012

It is a paint-by-numbers Holocaust movie, scrupulously balanced, always cautious, occasionally clichéd, often sentimental. Read full review

Bernard Besserglik

Nov 11, 2012

A bankable cast, a hint of controversy and high production values may play in their favor commercially, but Bosch and her producer-husband Ilan Goldman have come dangerously close to making a feel-good movie about the Holocaust. Read full review
