Reviews for Storm
1 - 9 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticHans-Christian Schmid marshals his material on an epic canvas whereas the subject might have been better suited to a more intense and contained treatment.
11/05/09
A mostly riveting, well-acted and compelling drama that slightly fizzles out during its rushed third act.
11/01/09
Gives conscience a good name and proves the world needs more women warriors to uphold the cause of justice.
10/30/09
A political thriller with real-world resonance.
10/30/09
Top CriticIn this taut drama about the trial of a Bosnian Serb general from German director and co-writer Hans Christian Schmid, we see how justice can be subverted by interests as banal as international bureaucracy, despite the best intentions...
10/30/09
The portrait may be accurate but Schmid's overly muted take on the story hardly does justice to the stark terror and injustice that lies at its core.
10/29/09
It may sound like a simple lawyer-fights-for-righteousness tale, but this ostensible thriller is really an examination of two courageous female protagonists, both of whom find defeat at the intersection of the personal and the political.
10/28/09
The writing by director Hans-Christian Schmid and Bernd Lange is more stilted and righteous than even the U.N. environs, with its humanity-embracing procedural-speak, calls for.
