Last of the Unjust, The

Documentary


The critical consensus

A sober, substantial film that stretches well over three hours, The Last of the Unjust demands patience and commitment from the viewer but the reward is an utterly fascinating, spellbinding history lesson.

*****Allan Hunter, The List, 05/01/2015

The 89 year-old director has lost none of his bold inquisitiveness in a Shoah follow-up that plunges the viewer deep into the hustle and anguish of the Czech ghetto.

****(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 06/01/2015

A powerful excavation of a shrouded event in the history of the Holocaust.

*****Jordan Cronk, Little White Lies, 08/01/2015

The film itself is haunted and haunting.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 08/01/2015

This is a complex and very moving documentary, quite possibly the last one that Lanzmann, now 89, will make on the Holocaust. It fully, if belatedly, vindicates its subject who emerges in the interview material as a formidably intelligent, witty and courageous man.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 09/01/2015

Running well over three hours, it is a sober, unflinching attempt to provide a fresh perspective on the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust.

*****Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 09/01/2015

Each viewer will judge its truth for themselves, but the director’s compassionately unsentimental acceptance is clear and profound.

****(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 11/01/2015
