1945. WW2 is over and several Nazi leaders, including Hitler's Number 2 Hermann Goering, have been captured by the Allies. The American aim is to try the leaders in an international court but that is proving difficult to arrange. Meanwhile, Dr Douglas Kelley, a psychiatrist in the US Army, is assigned to evaluate the mental state of the prisoners, in the process getting close to Goering. This is his story.
- War Movie BlogNovember 13, 2025I’ve not seen many films with acting on this level - every performance is absolutely riveting. The intensity and authenticity make it an incredibly engaging experience from start to finish. Nuremberg isn’t just a powerful exploration of the complex relationship between Hermann Göring and Douglas Kelley - it’s a chilling reminder of how easily humanity can repeat the darkest chapters of its own history. This film forces you to look inward, to question morality, justice, and the thin line between reason and madness. 🔥 A must-watch.
- RaulRLupescuJune 21, 2026There are World War II films where you already know what's coming. Heroes, villains, battles, tears. Nuremberg is not one of those. The film starts with a question that genuinely unsettles: what does evil look like up close, face to face, stripped of the war around it? Douglas Kelley, a U.S. Army psychiatrist, is sent to evaluate Nazi prisoners before the trials begin. Among them, Hermann Göring. And it's this relationship, between the psychiatrist trying to understand and the war criminal trying to manipulate, that becomes the spine of the entire film. Russell Crowe doesn't play Göring. He inhabits him. Charismatic, sharp, dangerous precisely because of it. Watching him seduce people who should be immune to him says more about how fascism actually works than any speech could. Rami Malek holds his own in their intellectual duel, and Michael Shannon brings real moral weight to the courtroom scenes. The film is at its best in the interrogation rooms. Claustrophobic and authentic, two men studying each other, each convinced he's the one in control. When it reaches for a broader epic scope it loses some confidence, but not enough to break what's been built. What stays with you after isn't the story from 1945. It's the question it raises about right now. The ideology that produced Nuremberg didn't die there. The film has the nerve to say that out loud, without turning into a lecture. Worth your time. You won't shake it off easily.
- ርልዪረNovember 28, 2025ᛋᛋThis version of (Judgement at) Nuremberg is, in my opinion, superior to the original. Rami Malek matches Academy Award winner, Maximillan Schell scene for scene, and thensome. There are actually very few scenes that this version has in common with the original. Director James Vanderbilt, along with writer Jack El-Hai, both did an outstanding job of re-creating the courtroom atmosphere of the world-famous trial of the century in 1946. I found the segment of Hermann Hess fascinating, and thought it should have been examined more closely, but then the film would have been an unwieldy three hours. There are several top-notch performances in this film. Outside of Malek's Oscar-winning performance, there is Russell Crowe's Oscar-winning performance. Leo Woodall and John Slattery (Madmen) also give great performances. So, aside from Best Film, Best Editing, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor, this film should win at least 5 Academy Awards (probably more), or I don't anything about reviewing films. I will go out on a limb on this one. Do not miss this one; it is EASILY the best film of 2025.
- mrmist0March 13, 2026In this movie, they call Russell Crowe fat several times. Years ago, I told him on Twitter that he’d look better if he lost the gut; he got mad and blocked me. Karma is real. I’m fat too, though, we should all just learn to take life with a grain of salt. As for the movie, it's superb; a spectacular performance. Even if Russell hates me, his acting was impressive. Great film.
