The Zone of Interest

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• ““To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric”, Theodor Adorno famously wrote. Glazer’s film gives us the prosaic instead, refashioning it into the darkest, most vital sort of art it might be possible for us as a species to produce.”

  Robbie Collin, The Telegraph · 100

• “It’s a shocking piece of audio-visual art that only further cements Glazer as one of the 21st century’s most original and influential filmmakers.”

  Rory O'Connor, The Film Stage · 100

• “At this point it doesn’t seem a stretch to say that Jonathan Glazer is incapable of making a movie that’s anything less than bracingly original.”

  David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter · 100

• “The Zone of Interest is a challenging rather than conventionally provocative film but, by any measure, essential viewing and a work that will be a vital focus of discussion both in the cinephile world and beyond.”

  Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily · 100

• “Zone of Interest is a prodigiously mounted wonder, gripping and awful and terribly necessary to its time.”
