Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

Moving and informative. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Some stories are more compellingly told than others, but all, like Trank's film, are deserving of attention. Read full review

Leslie Camhi

It's also frustrating-we long to learn more about each individual. Still, the sheer fascination and profoundly moving power of these stories transcend the film's more conventional limitations. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Goes beyond the well-documented Warsaw Ghetto uprising to take a fascinating look at seven lesser-known individual paths to resistance. Read full review

Anita Gates

Much of the time, unfortunately, the responsible, institutional filmmaking of Unlikely Heroes, from Moriah Films, an arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, does not do full justice to these stories. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

These were people willing to take chances. Would that Trank had taken chances in telling their stories. Read full review

Certainly fascinating, with amazing footage, but it is a bit tedious at times. Fine narration, good interviews. It is good as an interesting different perspective on the holocaust era.
