Amrum Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
David Opie
This really is "a Hark Bohm Film by Fatih Akin," which conversely has us more excited than we have been in a long time to see what Akin gets up to next.
Film Threat
Ben Glidden
As Amrum ends, you realize why Nanning is crafted in such an intricate and personal way.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
a coming of age tale coupled with the disillusionment of learning just how Nanning's parents' investment in Hitler's Nazi party affected his own family as well as his country.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Amrum is a small miracle of a movie.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
For all of us wondering when an ugly time will fade, the moment will resonate like a cautious, dawning hope.
MovieJawn
Andrea Schmidt
Amrum boasts incredible and heartbreaking performances
In Review Online
Padaí Ó Maolchalann
A coming-of-age story in quite a classical style [with] Bohm's straightforward compassion softening Akin's edge.
Spectrum Culture
Daniel Pemberton
A visually striking tale of a childhood spent during wartime and on the wrong side of history, hitting all the right emotional beats while still having something interesting to say.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Louis Roberts
The implied parallels between the laws of nature and human conflict, messy though they are, set a classical tone that is reflected in the film's myth-like narrative structure.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
Billerbeck, a first-time actor and a superb discovery, is such an immediately likable screen presence that it's only natural to wonder if you're being worked over. Worry not. Nanning is an engaging lead, but he isn't sentimentalized.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Can a brainwashed boy in Hitler Youth learn to stop worrying and love being a Nazi hater? Beautifully directed by Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin, this unexpectedly tender mesmerizer has answers you won't see coming
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
It's a film whose tranquility and humility sometimes work against it, even in those moments where it overcorrects with didacticism.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
When it comes to the horrors of the 1940s, so rich is the history that we'll probably never reach the end of fresh approaches to it. "Amrum" is a stirring example of how childhood reminiscence can stand for so much more.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
To Akin's credit, the film isn't tastelessly sentimental (see "Jojo Rabbit"), and it depicts Nanning's awakening with the kind of subtlety and restraint that suggests his moral education will continue evolving after the end of the movie.
Slant Magazine
Eli Friedberg
Fatih Akin's Amrum is a delicate coming-of-age parable tracking national identity and violence to their most intimate origin points during the waning days of the Third Reich.
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.
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.
