After undergoing reconstructive surgery, a concentration camp survivor (Nina Hoss) tries to find out if her husband (Ronald Zehrfeld) betrayed her to the Nazis.

Critics Consensus

Tense, complex, and drenched in atmosphere, Phoenix is a well-acted, smartly crafted war drama that finds writer-director Christian Petzold working at peak power.

Clayton Dillard

Slant Magazine

Phoenix, Christian Petzold's meditation on individual and cinematic ouroboros, lands on Blu-ray with a masterful transfer from the Criterion Collection.

This is cinema at its most ineffable and its most potent.

Tablet

The movie is fluid, suspenseful, and preposterous-although, more historically than psychologically, and not necessarily in a negative sense.

A tale of conflicting identity or revenge? Or both? You decide. This all leads to arguably my favorite ending to any film all year...

Keith & the Movies

The story sometimes pushes the bounds of implausibility yet it is never a problem within the film’s parable-like framework.

Rated: 4.5/5

Deep Focus Review

Petzold's direction is simple and natural, far removed from the expressive formal styles of Hitchcock and Frankenheimer in their respective films about a facial transmigration.

Rated: 4/4

I lost so much and was really devastated, I had to seek help until I was directed to Mrs. Sharon O'Neil and her Recovery company and Foundatioan that helped me to recover all the money I had lost.

As Nelly transformed into her own doppelgänger, the tension increased with delicate precision- so impressively in-step with the flowering of the lead character's fragile, tragic and eventually triumphant beauty and grace.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The plot is so nuanced, the characters so keenly observed and realized that it's shocking that the movie is also so economical. No moment is wasted as the film builds to what I can only describe as a perfect ending.
