Washington Post by Ann Hornaday
Director Caroline Link (Nowhere in Africa) brings handsome period production values and a lyrical, restrained sensibility to a narrative that might not qualify as riveting, but exerts its own unmistakable emotional pull.

Variety by Guy Lodge
In this bright, engaging film, Kerr’s story is faithfully and lovingly preserved, though its tougher, quirkier details are mollified by a layer of palatable movie gloss.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
The film strains to inject even a modicum of drama.

Slant Magazine by Derek Smith
The reality of Nazi Germany and its looming atrocities feels as if it exists only beyond the edges of the film’s frame.
