Jerichow Ratings & Reviews
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Petzoid takes the Cain themes of lust and duplicity and twists them into a reflection on modern Germany, where nationalism and loyalties and identity and economics are jumbled and thrown into confusion.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Isn't startlingly new, but it's a nice twist on a familiar formula, and should satisfy anyone who wants to see the postman, as it were, ring yet again.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A taut, German-made thriller, Jerichow adds a bit of European xenophobia to the pulp traditions of passion and betrayal.
GreenCine
Craig Phillips
Jerichow is not the masterfully complex work that Yella* was, but it's very tightly constructed and made, showing in some ways Peltzold's maturity as a filmmaker.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
This is a movie made by and for adults, and adults should consider seeing it.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
This swift, skillful film builds to a closing image that leaves you with what they call the wow factor on Top Chef not just because the finale is so shocking but because it is also so shockingly inevitable.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This is silly romance. It's sillier suspense. But I'm not above saying I enjoyed it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's easy to compare Jerichow with the films of The Postman Always Rings Twice, with the grimy gas station owner, the sexy wife and the rugged drifter, but people have a way of not behaving according to their superficial qualities.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
So compact and controlled is this fine film.
NewsBlaze

How do you say 'Three's a crowd' auf Deutsch?
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
The ironic denouement doesn't match the fever pitch of the build up. But . . .the walls of Jerichow fall down just from the heat Fürmann and Hoss generate.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A taut, character-driven and intelligently crafted thriller with a strong and radiant performance by Nina Hoss.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
A modern-day, Teutonic Postman Always Rings Twice? Yes, Jerichow is just that, but minus the needed passion or suspense.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Viewers will be drawn in by Jerichow even if they aren't familiar with Cain's tale and the other movies it spawned.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Petzold, who has a crisp style and sharp sense of the visual, is too talented and imaginative to allow his film to become predictable.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
There is nonetheless something haunting about this film, a sense of desperation and defeat that seems less like a generic convention than like a genuine insight.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Jerichow's sparseness, tiny cast, and minimal plot can make the film seem a little elusive, but there's a certain elegance to Petzold's concision, too. He shows all he wants us to see.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Cain's novel, set in Depression-era America, finds a fitting update in the impoverished titular town of northeastern Germany.
The Screengrab
Nick Schager
By protracting his set-up, Petzold ... achieves and maintains an effective level of intrigue.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
We imagine his burning gaze and labored breath behind every wide shot that depicts Thomas and Laura's trysts, providing the sterile visuals with a voyeuristic intensity.
