Kramer ensures that the viewer is not given an easy ride—and nor should they be—and despite its three-hour runtime, the film remains compelling throughout.

Few 3-hour long court dramas are as compelling and thrilling as Judgement at Nuremberg. A film about injustice and war while portraying hopelessness and double standards. Incredible script, magnificent directing. Full review in Spanish

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 8, 2022

One of American cinema's landmark dramas, as well as one of the most powerful courtroom dramas ever filmed.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 8, 2022

Far from a simplistic condemnation of fascism.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 18, 2021

Directed by Stanley Kramer - no stranger to heavy-hitting, topical, timeless dramas - this epic courtroom showdown is historical, educational, and shocking.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Mar 24, 2021

Judgment at Nuremberg remains an epic film.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 13, 2019

The screenplay, by Abby Mann, must be given A for effort. It concentrates on the moral-historical question of the responsibility of the German people for the Nazi horrors... Without Mr. Mann's script, it would have been just another courtroom drama.

Most powerful for its subtle and shaded characterizations of both victim and victimizer.

| Original Score: 72/100 | Aug 1, 2013

Important fictionalized intense courtroom drama, which at times was engrossing.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 13, 2010

Abordando o complexo tema com honestidade, inteligência e humanidade, esta obra-prima repleta de atuações inesquecíveis é um atestado da capacidade do Cinema em servir não só como retrato de nossa História, mas como profunda reflexão sobre a mesma.

Absorbing from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 7, 2007

Tracy delivers a performance of great intelligence and intuition.

| Nov 7, 2007

Watchable enough on its own terms, but insufferably glib next to something like Shoah.

| Nov 7, 2007

A tpical Stanley Kramer's film: Serious (even pompous) and humanist, but essentially middlebrow, courtroom drama that while well-acted is too verbose and fearful of taking sides in the controversy over who's to blame for the Nazi atrocities.

| Original Score: B | Sep 26, 2007

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2007

There are no surprises in the direction, and Abby Mann's screenplay plays the expected tunes, but there's enough conviction on display to reward a patient spectator.

| Jun 24, 2006

A rare cinematic exploration of the messy, difficult aftermath of evaluating culpability, not only for the Nazi masterminds, but also for innumerable officials and functionaries…

An eloquent snapshot of the way that the ground was shifting--in both the Nuremberg of 1948 and the Tinsel Town of 1961.
