Overview
- Sony Pictures Classics releases the drama in U.S. and Canada on Nov. 7 after a Toronto premiere that drew a four‑minute standing ovation.
- Critics praise the performances—especially Crowe as Hermann Göring and Shannon as Robert H. Jackson—though some call the film overstuffed; USA Today is notably positive while the Chicago Tribune deems it uneven.
- Leo Woodall earns standout notices for an affecting supporting turn as a translator working with Douglas Kelley.
- James Vanderbilt centers the story on Kelley’s psychological evaluation of Göring and stages the courtroom with real archival concentration‑camp footage used for impact.
- The project took roughly 13 years to reach screens, with Walden Media rescuing collapsed financing, principal photography in Budapest in early 2024, and Sony Pictures Classics acquiring rights in June 2025.
