"No depiction of the extermination camp experience of an individual has ever been so
large
; it verges on the ecstatic."
Blogcritics.org
Alan Dale
"In cutting through the conventional cliches of Holocaust presentation to a more singular truth, Gyuri defies viewers to refuse him the license to tell his own story as he himself saw and felt it, rather than as others might prefer him to tell it."
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
4/5
"Fateless is not a necessarily hopeful film, but it's also definitely not a cynical one; it may even be a great one."

"In a long list of Holocaust films, this sublime one is well-worth seeking out."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"Fateless suggests a new kind of emotionless Holocaust drama--a cannibalistic one."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
4/5
"Una película de sobrecogedora belleza que se las arregla para arrojar nueva luz sobre un tema trillado y recurrente."
Uruguay Total
Enrique Buchichio

Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
8/10
"Plays out as a constant tug-of-war between what makes it trite and what makes it unique, although what makes it unique has the better chance of sticking with you."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
3/5
"Director Lajos Koltai has taken a few tips from another Holocaust drama, Roman Polanski's
The Pianist
."
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
"[L]ooks anew at familiar horrors through adolescent eyes, silently voicing the eternal teenage contention that adults are idiots and have hopelessly screwed up the world..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
B
"Haunting, affecting and beautiful in its own way, although slow-moving and overlong."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A-
"This true story takes the monumental suffering of the Holocaust and distills it into the life and survival of one teenaged boy."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
6/10
"The deep and nearly imponderable lesson of
Fateless
makes its watching more duty than entertainment."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
A

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
