Amen. Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Though such elements might chip away somewhat at Amen's seriousness of intent, they do add fire to the stimulating drama.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
It's so inert, so slow-moving that it seems at least twice as long as it really is, and it manages to waste a potentially fascinating premise.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Costa-Gavras often shortchanges the story's inherent drama for talky and strident speechifying.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Costa-Gavras deserves credit for staying the course; in a time when most European film directors are wringing their hands, he's still pointing fingers.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Tukur's performance is the centerpiece of the movie; it's a wonderful mixture of outrage and swiftly disappearing naivete.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Less a gripping drama than a stimulating bit of polemic.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Costa-Gavras' political thrillers used to jab and thrust with lethal efficiency. This one just pounds against a heavy bag, huffing and puffing all the way.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
In a remarkably subtle turn, the German Tukur is convincing as [Gerstein].
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Amen., a docudrama rather than a documentary, is clearly guided by Shoah's example, asking us to reflect on the Holocaust and what made it possible rather than simply recoil from it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An expose of the Catholic hierarchy in a state of mind-boggling paralysis, presented in a fictional context that, inevitably, dulls its edge and makes us question its accuracy.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
It is the director's most ambitious film in years and one of his least compelling.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
On its own terms, Amen is a memorably prickly film.
Observer
Rex Reed
Flawed but unmistakably moving, Amen shines a flashlight on the darkest chapter in modern history.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A handsome period production of fluidity and subtlety, intimate and large-scale.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Subtle distinctions have not been Costa-Gavras' long suit, but urgency becomes him in this forceful and intelligent evocation ... of Hochhuth's belief that in moments of historical crisis, moral choice must take precedence over realpolitik.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
An unusually riveting experience for a story with an inevitable, dismal ending.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
While Amen works as a history lesson, it's less effective as a thriller, since the outcome is sadly all too well-known.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Neither as moving nor as illuminating as it should be.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Costa-Gavras provides a post-war postscript to make clear that honesty is punished; cynicism survives.
