The Aryan Couple Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The most mawkish and shallow take on the holocaust committed to screen in many a long year.
Boston Globe
Michael Hardy
Mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality. In another film this would be the usual Hollywood hokum. In a film about the most serious subject imaginable, it amounts to moral idiocy.
Film Threat
Doug Brunell
Despite some tense scenes, this movie still falls fairly flat.
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
Put-upon Jews weep on cue or stare defiantly into the camera, spouting impromptu speeches about getting some of their own back one day; all the while, violins wail in the background.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Dan Hudak
The Aryan Couple gets great mileage out of its tension and suspense, and its commitment to developing its characters as real people in an unthinkable dilemma.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The whole thing is coarse and vulgar, as it hides its low fascinations behind a scrim of Holocaust piety until it becomes pure kitsch.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A handsome Holocaust melodrama hobbled by a transparent and cartoonish script.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Pure sentimental melodrama, with not a moment's reflection on any issue larger than the fate of our heroes.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
These two are so pretty and vacant they seem better suited to modeling for a perfume ad than taking on the Third Reich.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Potentially powerful subject matter is given an unconvincingly melodramatic treatment.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Pic's dubious brand of heroism, half-baked historical sense, simplistic dialogue, flat staging and barely formed characters make for sluggish sledding.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It turns real genocide into another kind of B-movie moustache-twirling.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Engrossing and satisfying, The Aryan Couple shows just how vital a movie made in the solid British style of traditional filmmaking can be.
L.A. Weekly
Kim Morgan
Directed with the flat artlessness of a lower-rung Masterpiece Theater entry, pulling heartstrings with Igor Khoroshev's lugubrious score and scripted with banal bromides insulting to its subject matter.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A hokey soap opera set against the backdrop of the Holocaust.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
A dull and lumbering thriller.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A minor example of a major genre: the feel-good Holocaust movie.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Insultingly seeks to soothe and comfort against the reality of atrocity.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Daly ladles on the overwrought music and the moist close-ups, throwing in everything but Climb Every Mountain in a bid for our emotions.
