Farran Smith Nehme New York Post The film plays mostly as an uneasily satirical thriller. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 11, 2013 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times An awkward blend of anti-Semitic atrocities and identity-swapping absurdity, the World War II drama "My Best Enemy" struggles to find a convincing tone. Rated: 2/5 Jan 10, 2013 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News The script relies on too many unlikely twists, but Bleibtreu manages to sell them all. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2013 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue While the film generates some mild suspense and the period re-creation is convincing enough, the twists eventually become more contrived and preposterous. Jan 14, 2013 Full Review Dan Fainaru Screen International Neither the plot of this farfetched caper nor Murenberger's approach to it, do any kind of justice to what is still, whether some people like it or not, one of the most terrible episodes in human history.

Audience Member The plot is absolutely ridiculous! I guess now a days you can turn whatever ridiculous plot you come across into a movie, just as long as it is about the holocaust! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Far better than the critics rate this. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It is very hard to define the genre as it has many aspects and has a twisted story development. A mystery-like story made the historical issue less serious. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Riveting and realistically refreshing movie about WWII, Germany, the Nazis and friendships. For me, it was borderline Hitchcock-worthy in its suspense. Give it a try! It will at least, perhaps, make you look at things slightly differently and from a German's perspective as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
