Overview
- The Sony Pictures Classics drama opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 7, with Rami Malek, Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon leading the cast.
- Critics publishing this week describe the film as ambitious yet overstuffed, with strong notices for Crowe’s portrayal of Hermann Göring.
- The production staged extended single‑take courtroom sequences reportedly running 23 minutes to sustain tension and performance continuity.
- Real Nazi concentration‑camp footage is shown in the film, and the director instructed cast and crew to avoid viewing it until filming to capture authentic reactions.
- After a 13‑year path marked by collapsed financing, Walden Media brought the project to completion, following a TIFF screening that drew a four‑minute standing ovation.
