"'Shoah' is difficult to watch, but few other films match its consideration of unspeakable evil and indifference."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

4/4
"Lanzmann builds the past using tools that exist only in the present, summoning an unfathomable catastrophe with the voices and memories of survivors."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

60/100
"The film is undeniably tough going, but by looking into the hearts of the people that experienced the atrocities, it gets at the heart of the horror itself."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

B
"Lazmann's 9 ½ hour labor of love equals The Triumph Of The Will for its [historical] importance"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

10/10
"The chief success of the film...is to remove the Holocaust from its comfortably horrifying place in history, and restore a human face to the atrocities."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
