Critic Reviews

Targarona began as an actor before becoming a producer and, finally, a director. The Photographer of Mauthausen is her second feature, but if feels like the work of an old pro — vivid, involving and frequently terrifying.

The Photographer reminds us how hard it is to say something new on this subject, to avoid third act melodrama, even when the tale is essentially true. A lot of luck and chance were involved in deciding who lived and who died.
