Mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality. In another film this would be the usual Hollywood hokum. In a film about the most serious subject imaginable, it amounts to moral idiocy.

Put-upon Jews weep on cue or stare defiantly into the camera, spouting impromptu speeches about getting some of their own back one day; all the while, violins wail in the background.

The Aryan Couple gets great mileage out of its tension and suspense, and its commitment to developing its characters as real people in an unthinkable dilemma.

The whole thing is coarse and vulgar, as it hides its low fascinations behind a scrim of Holocaust piety until it becomes pure kitsch.

A handsome Holocaust melodrama hobbled by a transparent and cartoonish script.

Pure sentimental melodrama, with not a moment's reflection on any issue larger than the fate of our heroes.

These two are so pretty and vacant they seem better suited to modeling for a perfume ad than taking on the Third Reich.

Potentially powerful subject matter is given an unconvincingly melodramatic treatment.
12/18/04
Pic's dubious brand of heroism, half-baked historical sense, simplistic dialogue, flat staging and barely formed characters make for sluggish sledding.

Engrossing and satisfying, The Aryan Couple shows just how vital a movie made in the solid British style of traditional filmmaking can be.
