“The film assembles the statements of renowned experts and texts of participating soldiers with pictures of young lay actors in uniform, historical images and dramatic reconstructions of social-psychological experiments to create an unusually intense document on the mechanisms of evil. A film unique in its clarity and style, with which Ruzowitzky wants to replace eye-witness interviews that are problematic today.” Nürnberger Nachrichten
