Plot Story : The sublime Barbara Sukowa reteams with director Margarethe von Trotta (Vision, Rosa Luxemburg) for her brilliant new biopic of influential German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt. Arendt's reporting on the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker-controversial both for her portrayal of Eichmann and the Jewish councils-introduced her now-famous concept of the "Banality of Evil." Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, von Trotta beautifully turns the often invisible passion of thought into immersive, dramatic cinema. An Official Selection at the Toronto International and New York Jewish Film Festivals, Hannah Arendt also co-stars Klaus Pohl as philosopher Martin Heidegger, Nicolas Woodeson as New Yorker editor William Shawn, and two-time Oscar Nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs) as novelist Mary McCarthy.

Review For Movie Hannah Arendt
Barbara Sukowa delivers a beautifully modulated performance, showing the rigor of Arendt's thought and convictions while revealing the contours of a passionate woman with complex relationships.Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader
[Barbara Sukowa] invests Arendt with a steely fury, but the film, set during and after the 1961 trial of ex--Nazi official Adolf Eichmann, has an entertaining cocktail-banter superficiality.
Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly
Like A Hidden Method, David Cronenberg's drama about Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Hannah Arendt takes seriously the life of the mind.
Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times
In an era of sleepwalking surrender, "Hannah Arendt" is a welcome wake-up call, a ringing reminder that warring forces first assemble on the battlefield of conscience.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Balanced portrayal, makes a persuasive case that Arendt was a valuable voice, whose dedicated work in trying to unravel the causes of Europe's moral collapse was worthy of study and consideration.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
A film that ultimately says more about banality than evil.
Peter Keough-Boston Globe
Arendt, through the film's glamorizing lens, becomes a character impossible not to identify or agree with.
Henry Giardina-Film Comment Magazine
Thinker and writer adds an intellectual footnote to the Holocaust
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
The banality of evil is examined in this solid and intelligent account of Arendt's controversial conclusions on the trial of Adolf Eichmann.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK]
The period is subtly rendered and the climactic defence of her ideas before a class of students and critics is a stirring and thought-provoking coda.
Jeremy Aspinall-Radio Times
This is an interesting film about ideas, and how explosive they can be.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
A trivial take on a profound thinker.
Sophie Monks Kaufman-Little White Lies
An involving and important drama which provides excellent insight into the life of political theorist Hannah Arendt during the time she reported on the Adolf Eichmann trial, only sadly marred by some bad acting and poor dialogue.
Katherine McLaughlin-ViewLondon
Hannah Arendt's problem is the evil of banality: the gnawing away of drama by platitude and pedestrian mise-en-scène.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Though growing considerably tedious in parts, and lagging somewhat in the middle stages, Hannah Arendt picks up once again for what is an immensely engaging climax.
Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys
It's both an amazing piece of impersonation and a subtle, canny performance that suggests the sharpness of Arendt's thinking.
Rob Thomas-Madison Movie
Not really an edifying episode in intellectual history, but an interesting story told with appropriate restraint.
Peter Momtchiloff-Electric Sheep
For those who value the life of the mind and the responsibility of the public intellectual, it's an engrossing--indeed important--film.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
Von Trotta's direction is assured and the film has an incredibly strong performance at its core, and it asks a number of important questions, even though it doesn't dare to answer them.
Ali Arikan-RogerEbert.com
Not for everyone, but the character is very much worth investigating for her own sake.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Arendt is so measured and elegant that the filmmaking seems effortless.
Matthew Sorrento-Film International
