      Audience Member An ever-important documentary about the making, and forgetting, about a timely film documenting the fallout of the Nazi concentration camps. Even in its own unintended anti Semitism, the film stands as a warning about humans repeating their own mistakes. It's important to remember that this happened, and after seeing this, it's hard to say otherwise. We're still here. We can be better as a people. If we don't learn, night will fall. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a chilling yet powerful watch. Excellent documentary. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe not the best film about WWII, but definitely not one that you'd forget. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This should be required viewing. A surprisingly comprehensive and raw look at some of the unreleased footage filmed of the Holocaust as well as an overview of what the different film crew from the 3 major allied powers were doing when they discovered the camps. It's difficult to sit through and stands as a testament to what the ultimate end goal of hate and contempt of others leads to. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The single most informative movie about the holocaust that I've ever seen. It is so graphic you almost want to turn away but the truth is the reality. Watch it, then weigh the significance of Sean Spicer's asinine comments. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Sad, tearful, disturbing, EYE OPENING! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mike Hale New York Times It may not do full justice to all [of its] subjects in its tight 78 minutes, but it's not a film you're likely to forget. Jan 27, 2015 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe The liberation footage itself is the centerpiece of Night Will Fall. It is mesmerizing, sickening, disturbing, and essential. Jan 27, 2015 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Horrifying. Fascinating. Rated: A Jan 23, 2015 Full Review Alex Denney NME (New Musical Express) A chilling and important documentary about the horrors of the Nazi death camps in WWII... Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Daniel Green CineVue We're provided with a harrowing but necessary insight into what the first Allied troops met as they stumbled upon the nightmare of the Holocaust. Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com ... Alfred Hitchcock himself was drafted to shape the footage into a documentary that would play for audiences on both sides of the war. It was never completed. Mar 9, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
