Munich: The Edge of War Reviews
For all its subtlety and craft, Munich: The Edge of War gives us little in the way of romance or adventure.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2025
Munich: The Edge of War is an uneven, sometimes perplexing narrative, but moreover it's a touching story about friendship, about the ways in which the personal and the political can collide.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2024
WWII origin film Munich – The Edge of War works well as a political biography of Neville Chamberlain, but not as a tense espionage thriller.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024
Despite the liberties the script takes, “Munich — The Edge of War” is an engrossing film with interesting perspective.

Munich: The Edge of War is a riveting very well put together film that is true to its source material. It may perhaps fly under the awards radar but is worthy perhaps of some recognition and in another year Irons would be in the mix
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2023
So while Munich: The Edge of War attempts to construct a political thriller surrounding one of the most infamous diplomatic moments in modern history, it ultimately fails to do so.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 5, 2023
A piece of fact-based historical fan fiction about sacrifice and the greater good. The difference here is by letting go of facts and giving yourself over to speculation,

Poses the question of when patriotism means becoming a traitor against the powers that be

The disconcerting ending doesn't ultimately cast a shadow in [the film's] virtues and the interesting subtext of the story is solidified: we don't choose the time we get to live; but we can choose how we respond to those times. [Full review in Spanish]

Munich - The Edge of War had the potential to be so much more but instead, it ends up just being historical fan fiction and gets Neville Chamberlain completely wrong in the process.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 13, 2022
It is an obvious commentary, but a prescient one nonetheless, and the storytelling still maintains a suspenseful structure that is captivating.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 8, 2022
A stirring WWII tale, told with assurance and featuring a pair of fine performances from George McKay and Jannis Niewohner. Well worth your time.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 19, 2022
Munich: The Edge of War might have benefitted from being a bingeable miniseries with more time to flesh out the characters and the climate. However, strong direction and solid performances make up for a sense that everyone knows where this is going.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022
Christian Schwochow's terrific cusp-of-WWII spy thriller "Munich The Edge of War," boasting fab lead performances by George MacKay (1917) and Jannis Niewhner (Jonathan), as well as a grand turn by Jeremy Irons as Neville Chamberlain.
| Original Score: B | Feb 7, 2022
Convincing characters, real-life dilemmas and immersive production values enhance this spy thriller set during events leading into WWII
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2022
As an exploration of the flawed assumptions -- and outright failures -- of Hitler’s British and German foes, it resonates as a fictional, yet often plausible, account of what could have happened had history gone differently.

Its particularly interesting to tell the story through the eyes of two former Oxford graduates from the English and German sides. George MacKay and Jannis Niewhner are memorable here, their personal stories elevate it above a run-of-the-mill war drama.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2022
Although we know how the end goes, this thriller keeps us on our toes.
