"A psychiatrist is tasked with analyzing Hermann Göring and other Nazis as they fight for their lives during the Nuremberg trials. These men orchestrated the deaths of over 6 million Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and political opponents. Did they feel remorse, guilt, or nothing at all? It is such a great concept for a story and plot, but, in Nuremberg, they really blew it."
"My heart broke when I realized the missed opportunity in this movie to educate and enlighten. This is not just about learning the lessons of history. This is about learning so we don't repeat something like this in our Trumpian world. For that, we go back to 1961 to the remarkable movie Judgment at Nuremberg, a Stanley Kramer production starring Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland, and Oscar winner Maximilian Schell. Schell won the Oscar for Best Actor, and I'll never forget my mother jumping"
Nuremberg is based on the true 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychologist, focusing on a psychiatrist assessing Hermann Göring and other defendants at the Nuremberg trials. The film emphasizes dialogue over emotional resonance, creating a wordy, often boring pace. Crowe's portrayal of Göring feels one-dimensional, while Malek's character receives excessive close-ups that fail to convey depth. Archival footage from liberated concentration camps provides the strongest impact. The film squanders an opportunity to educate and draw lessons to prevent future atrocities, prompting comparison to the superior 1961 Judgment at Nuremberg.
