Critic Reviews

For a film encompassing generations of fraught history, Germans & Jews is awfully short, but hardly superficial.

Germans and Jews is too sophisticated to provide a glib answer, but it shows how deeply involving just asking the question can be.

Part psychology seminar and sociology course, “Germans & Jews” finds its sharpest insights as it examines the stress of communication, when both sides are so hyper-aware of the past that it hinders what’s said in the present.

The truly remarkable thing about this modest little movie is the revelation of how much change is possible within a relatively short time.

A thoughtful and illuminating examination of a provocative subject.
