(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 95% Fresh Page   1   "[Sophie and Hans] embody the adolescent faith that any political action is better than none, and the movie couldn't treat them more glowingly if their actions had been effective."   Blogcritics.org   Alan Dale "The film itself may be very classical in its approach [but] the sheer power of Jentsch's performance and Sophie's own words make this film an absolute must-see."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 4/5 "Elegant in its moral and artistic simplicity"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti B+ "The film has an immeasurable fascination that makes us look on as voyeurs and wonder how we might have reacted during such desperate times."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "As ideas are shot back and forth, 'Sophie Scholl' becomes an admirable, but not entirely successful, morality play. "   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit B "The film has a serious, urgent tone, but not a preachy or strident one."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "A very tense study of the last days of Nazism, and a worthy homage to a true heroine..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. B "Finely controlled...a docu-drama of seriousness and integrity."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A compelling and deftly acted portrait of a female freedom fighter against the Nazi war machine in 1943 Germany."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.75/5 "Straightforwardly scripted, it's not difficult to imagine this earnest and conventional retelling as if it were an original Playhouse 90 production. "   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner A- "...Jentsch draws you into it until you find yourself so involved, you may be astonished. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 8/10 "powerful and moving"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 2.5/4 "Interesting story, but the movie does nothing to stand out from the crowd"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Everyone must see this film, because while we're not yet at the point at which college kids who distribute flyers criticizing a warmongering government are being executed for their political agitating, we cannot ever, ever get to that point."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Captures the faint but nonetheless discernable strain of feminist camaraderie and religiosity that served as complementary components of Scholl's insurgent anti-Nazi "idea" of liberty and equality for all."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 8/10 "A story of commitment that makes up for lack of glitz with currency of message."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson B- "... the orderly and clean drama is more like theater than history come to life."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker A+ "One of a very few films that accomplishes one of the rarest and most valuable of cinematic achievements: It makes heroic goodness not just admirable, but attractive and interesting."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
