Feel-good historical fiction, The Aryan Couple insultingly seeks to soothe and comfort against the reality of atrocity.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
The problem, as it is so often in well-intentioned movies of this kind, is that rather than illuminate the enormity of Nazism, The Aryan Couple trades upon our knowledge of it for emotional impact.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
A few genuinely tense scenes are not enough to overcome a thin script, weak direction and an unceasingly high-strung score.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Definitely third-rate Holocaust material.
Set mostly over the course of a single evening, the film is lugubriously paced and filled with improbable turns of events.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
This handsome film is a splendid, stirring feat of the imagination.
No "Schindler's List," to put it mildly.
An oafish bore.
