In the German-occupied USSR during the Second World War, a Russian man is accused of collaborating with the Nazi invaders. To clear his name and preserve his dignity, the man must make a difficult moral decision, but is the price too high?
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
It's a stark vision of humanity in a hellish world. Tough and thought-provoking.
In the Fog develops an unearthly spell that largely makes up for its cerebral pace.
Loznitsa would have done better to embrace the story’s enigmas as opposed to explicate them.
In the Fog explores the moralities of wartime with restraint and exacting execution.
Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
In the Fog has the inevitability of an avalanche, and only our overfamilarity with Nazi-tribulation scenarios, and perhaps its excessively punctuated ending, could slow it down. A better anti-summer blockbuster is hard to imagine.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
In the Fog is an intense, slow-burning and haunting drama.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
This is a masterpiece of serious cinema; long, slow and grave as the grave.
The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
The film repays patient viewing as it evolves into an engrossing, nuanced, philosophical drama.
