Nuremberg Opens in UK Cinemas With Crowe and Malek in Psychological Duel

Reviews highlight Russell Crowe’s performance, with debate over the glossy tone and the use of real camp footage.

Overview

  • Nuremberg is now showing in UK cinemas, following festival buzz and earlier U.S. release coverage.
  • James Vanderbilt writes and directs the feature, adapting Jack El‑Hai’s 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist.
  • The drama reframes the Nuremberg story around U.S. army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley’s interviews with Hermann Göring, emphasizing a psychological face‑off over courtroom procedure.
  • Critics note the film’s polished style and moments of levity, alongside a stark sequence using authentic footage from liberated Nazi concentration camps.
  • Early UK reviews diverge, with strong notices for Russell Crowe’s Göring and sharper criticism of Rami Malek’s Kelley, while outlets like Empire commend the overall execution.
