8/10
"Though war has ended, ideology endures. Carpet bombing canīt bury a generation of poisonous lies."  DVDTown.com  Christopher Long

B-
"A horror movie in the manner of a neo-realist film, where fantasy mixes with reality."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

4/4
"There's rarely a shot that doesn't portray the utter hopelesness of Edmund's situation, and it makes his eventual fate feel almost inevitable, if no less wrenching as a result."  Film and Felt  Gabe Leibowitz

3.5/4
"Even if you don't entirely buy into the final moments (which I didn't), they do little to lessen the power and profundity of the film's overall message about what a world at war does to those caught in the crossfire"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/4
"Even as Germany Year Zero promotes a definite agenda, it remains admirable, because it incorporates politics without sacrificing its technical and storytelling virtues."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman
