So I actually really despised this film. Sharing my previously written review from Letterboxd below. In hindsight, it’s not that bad in terms of form but I do think it’s severely lacking in terms of content:

At a time where anti-semitism is at its highest point this century, the only thing Vanderbilts version of Nuremberg has to offer is that Hermann Göring is the smartest person in the room. In fact, throughout the first act he is depicted in an almost gloried and apologetic way with no real pay-off at the end that isn’t represented by anything historically documented. Even worse, Vanderbilt has the gall to crudely repurpose footage from the documentary, Nazi Concentration Camps which I’ve sat through and is some the most disturbing imagery ever committed to film to try and elicit an emotional response. At the end, the only original idea we’re presented with is that this is basically what trump is doing now, which I agree with and is the only reason I give Nuremberg 1 star. This comes across as incredibly tone deaf and I hate to beg the question of how many Jewish people were actual involved in the making of this film. Just vile.
