Review of The Good German (2006)

By Urban Cinefile Critics (1,069) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 01 Mar 2007

Steven Soderbergh massages his fond memories of the golden (if sometimes black and white) days of movies with a noirish sensibility…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Robert Roten (1,865) for Laramie Movie Scope (1,865) on 18 Feb 2007

One of the most artistically daring movies of 2006…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 15 Feb 2007

There's not much beyond self-conscious mise-en-scènes and a lead actor who isn't mysterious or magnetic as much as he's simply aloof…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Steve Crum (868) for Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers (80) on 06 Feb 2007

The failing ... is it takes itself dead-on seriously…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 30 Jan 2007

You can ignore the behind-the-scenes technicalities and enjoy the movie on face value: as a moderately entertaining nod to 'Casablanca…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Jan 2007

A cold movie that sacrifices so-called 'heart' to achieve a primarily technical effect -- an appropriate strategy for a story about death camp…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jan 2007

With a few self-conscious exceptions, Soderbergh makes an earnest attempt to return to that place and time in both history and American filmmaking,…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 19 Jan 2007

This cast almost makes The Good German watchable. It's just that their screenwriter and director don't do them any favors…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 19 Jan 2007

You might be tempted to classify it as an interesting failure, but all the crudities and the snail's pace make it hard to get through…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Michael Booth (186) for Denver Post (1,096) on 19 Jan 2007

We get no heroes, not even flawed ones. Clooney, our marquee man, chases through numbing plot contortions only because of his lust for Lena…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 12 Jan 2007

You can't invoke Casablanca and all these other classic[s]...without great dialogue, and this movie has almost none of it…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Walter Chaw (1,360) for Film Freak Central (1,643) on 03 Jan 2007

Inasmuch as a self-consuming experiment can succeed, it succeeds…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 31 Dec 2006

While the movie has style to die for, its attempt to integrate contemporary dramatic elements -- including profanity and fairly explicit sex…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 30 Dec 2006

If German is cynical about its characters' motives, it is not cynical about the movie's ability to make us think and feel…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 30 Dec 2006

If German is cynical about its characters' motives, it is not cynical about the movie's ability to make us think and feel…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 22 Dec 2006

Last year's 'Good Night, and Good Luck' was a great film. 'The Good German' is beautifully filmed, yet not so great…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 22 Dec 2006

Still-relevant political observation...[and] a nifty mystery that's a bit too self-conscious for its own good…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 22 Dec 2006

The movie is heavy on style but light on entertainment value…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Dec 2006

I have to admire an ostensibly nostalgic entertainment that so concertedly undermines the romanticism of wartime Hollywood…

Review of The Good German (2006)

By Chris Vognar (609) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 22 Dec 2006

It works, as homage to a particular time and place in film history, and as a knowing revision that brings Hollywood's subtext of '40s postwar…
