Critics Consensus
Bonhoeffer more or less gets the job done as a righteous thriller, but its glossy treatment of history flattens this remarkable true story into a formulaic matinee.
John Anderson America Magazine No, only when “Bonhoeffer” becomes an adventure does the film gain traction and become not just a celebration of conscience and courage but a thriller. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Dassler shrewdly portrays Bonhoeffer with carefully calibrated measures of zeal, sincerity, boldness and, on occasion, terror. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News It’s a fascinating but sad story about sacrifice and staying true to your moral beliefs and faith, a potent message that we need to hear time and again. Rated: 3/4 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall While the film feels a bit over-produced, it's also a riveting story that bristles with urgent themes. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This faith-based World War II biopic is deeply problematic and suffers from unsophisticated, sometimes unclear, filmmaking, but it has a strong central performance and a relevant, even necessary, message. Rated: 3/5 Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) A plodding script, dullish leading actor and an approach to cinematography that is depressingly dark leave this film far short of its high potential. Rated: C+ Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
BarbF This was an awesome movie from videography to acting. I highly recommend this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Heidi It was captivating to understand this is a true story and to see how people survived or thought what they should do to survive. Witnessing how hard it was to stand up for what was right versus the possibility of being persecuted. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Jen The movie was pretty close to the book! Very emotional and accurate picture of what happened. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Greg N Stunning movie about faith and giving up everything to stand up against evil for what’s right, no matter the cost. One of the best movies I’ve seen this year Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Susie I liked the movie and was glad he stood strong in his beliefs and his faith Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Edwin awful movie. i expected much more Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
