We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

80

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Storm is harrowing, provocative and deeply probing yet quite involving.

75

New York Post

Following the start of the war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic in The Hague, the release here of the political thriller Storm couldn't be more timely.

70

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

For a political thriller, Storm is remarkably restrained. There are no flashbacks to the wars in the Balkans or to the atrocities in the hotel.

60

Time Out

Storm’s remarkable poignancy is made all the more palpable by its restraint.

50

Variety by Derek Elley

A potentially gripping legal thriller about what happens when Western Europe attempts to solve Central European problems ends up as dull entertainment in Storm.

40

Village Voice

The writing by director Hans-Christian Schmid (Requiem) and Bernd Lange is more stilted and righteous than even the U.N. environs, with its humanity-embracing procedural-speak, calls for.
