criticism

"Chamber play-like historical drama, a dazzling mixture of melodrama and psychologically grounded thriller in front of spectacular scenery, the dramaturgical deficiencies of which are compensated for by the intense play of the actors."

“It also turns out that Germans, Swedes and Norwegians actually behaved very well during the war, because the worst Nazis were known to be English. And Russians. An English title, a Swedish director, coproduction with Scandinavia: Still, 'An Enemy to Die For' is the soapy German Degeto crap. "
