Amrum Reviews
MiamiArtZine
Rubén Rosario
Amrum's MVP is cinematographer Karl Walter Lindenlaub. The frequent Roland Emmerich collaborator's pristine images, a mélange of steely blues and earth tones, convey the island's desolation and Nanning's own loneliness.
Movies We Texted About
Sarah Manvel
All of Mr. Akin's movies have been an exploration of the different ways people are German, with all the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nuances that allows. And there are little nuances here that glue themselves into the memory.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Set on a picturesque windswept German island in the waning days of World War II, the Cannes selection walks an impossible morality line with delicate beauty. Very much like Nanning's journey, "Amrum" itself is rooted in a shattering act of generosity.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Amrum is a lovely departure for Akin.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
[Jasper Ole] Billerbeck's performance is Amrum's emotional engine. The actor channels Nanning's initial naïveté through sorrowful eyes that grow more steely as his adventures harden him to harsh realities.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Pete Hammond
I would say this modest film is far more impressive and moving and should be taken seriously by the Germans when it comes time for a submission into the Oscar International Film race.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
Akin has fashioned a rare film that relies on the power of simplicity to tell a story that is anything but simple.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The root of the problem is that Akin shoots his coming-of-age tale with lush compositions that undermine any potential veracity.
Screen Rant
Graeme Guttmann
Amrum doesn't confront all the questions it poses, serving as a meditation on the ways a child might respond to a world he doesn't fully understand.
Next Best Picture
Philip Bagnall
"Amrum" grapples with its themes smartly and accessibly, knowing its audience and giving them enough crumbs to think on. Bohm lived through these events, and Akin helps him convey the painful lessons of that period with skill and grace.
