[A] gripping true story, directed in a cool, semi-documentary style....[The film] challenges you to gauge your own courage and strength of character should you find yourself in similar circumstances.
New York Times
The film holds few surprises, though it builds a remarkable level of suspense during the fait-accompli interrogation scenes, and is a well-intended commemoration of a courageous young woman.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
Compelling in its depiction of quiet heroism, this testament to the power of passive resistance is made all the more authentic and poignant by the superbly controlled performance of Julia Jentsch.

Empire Magazine
Jentsch keep[s] up a subtle, restrained performance while the movie Nazis around her are screaming themselves red in the face. She succeeds beyond all expectation.
The Nation
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A claustrophobic bio-pic which telescopes tightly on the torture of the fearless activist till her demise after less than a week in the hands of Hitler's sadistic interrogators.

The film has an immeasurable fascination that makes us look on as voyeurs and wonder how we might have reacted during such desperate times.

There's a resonance to Sophie Scholl that crosses borders and approaches the timeless.

Product Description:
Julia Jentsch (THE EDUKATORS) stars as Sophie Scholl in this retelling of the last six days in the life of the famous activist. Scholl was a gutsy German college student with vehement anti-Nazi leanings. Setting up an underground resistance movement in Munich called the White Rose, Scholl and her colleagues were determined to bring Hitler and his cohorts to their knees. Sadly, it didn't happen in Scholl's lifetime, and THE FINAL DAYS documents her steely will when she was captured and interrogated in 1943 by Hitler's henchmen and finally executed.
