Nuremberg’ Reaches German Cinemas With Contested Göring Portrait

German audiences meet a drama critics say spotlights Göring’s charisma, using real camp footage.

Overview

  • The feature opens across Germany on Thursday, May 7, 2026, after a U.S. run that began in November 2025.
  • James Vanderbilt wrote and directed the 148‑minute film based on Jack El‑Hai’s book, starring Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring and Rami Malek as Army psychiatrist Douglas M. Kelley.
  • German reviews highlight a star‑led focus that grants Göring unsettling charm and question what that does to the film’s moral frame.
  • Courtroom scenes incorporate archival images from liberated concentration camps that were shown at the real trial, which critics say land with force.
  • Press reports cite more than $56 million at the box office against a reported budget of about $10 million.
