Rating: 3/5 --
Director Vincent Perez manages to convey this aura of repression clearly, while the lead actors impart the growing dread of the Quangels, as the risk of detection slowly increases.

Far Out Magazine
3 stars out of 5 -- The impeccable craft is apparent from the get-go as a young soldier is hunted down and killed in a strikingly shot sun-dappled forest.
Empire
Rating: 3/5 --
The two lead actors give their finest. And Daniel Brühl makes it three, slipping in a telling cameo as a conflicted police investigator, keen to show mercy but coerced by his "betters" to show none.

Financial Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Alone in Berlin is a modest, hard-faced film, offering a nervous study of humanity and civil disobedience in a societal-bullying era.

Globe and Mail
It’s a sometimes tense but mostly quiet film, filmed in earth tones that evoke a sense of history, with the story elegantly nudged along by a beautiful and haunting score from tremendously talented Alexandre Desplat.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
What makes Alone In Berlin distinctive is the form the resistance takes... It's about an ordinary middle-aged German couple who express their disgust for the regime by writing postcards. Stories about heroism don't come any more understated.

It's that juxtaposition -- of the hellish against the ordinary -- which gives the film its punch.

Product Description:
After their son is killed while serving in the German Army during World War II, married couple Anna (Emma Thompson) and Otto Quangel (Brendan Gleeson) launch an anonymous propaganda effort against the Nazis by leaving postcards with anti-Hitler messages in public places. Soon, a police detective (Daniel Brühl) is tasked with hunting down the author of the postcards. Based on a true story, ALONE IN BERLIN was adapted from Hans Fallada's novel and directed by Vincent Perez (THE SECRET).
