Critics' reviews

"A well-constructed, at times moving story (...) [It] keeps numerous side characters as half-drawn caricatures and then, toward the very end, makes several poor choices"

Jay Weissberg: Variety
"A thriller made riveting by an emotional performance from Diane Kruger (...) [It has] concentrated passion and ability to move viewers"

Deborah Young: The Hollywood Reporter
"A lacklustre courtroom drama (...) Sadly, the core of ‘Fade’ is essentially banal, and the narrative is too blunt and inert to make any kind of lasting impression."

Nikola Grozdanovic: The Playlist
"Diane Kruger shines (...) By no means a poor work, Fatih Akin’s film is just a solidly well made, straight-down-the-line drama; it neither reinvents the wheel nor tries to do so."

Ben Croll: The Wrap
"[It] starts well, but descends into ridiculousness (...) A pile-up of plot holes and wild story twists take it somewhere so crude that you’d be forgiven for finding it offensive (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Dave Calhoun: Time Out
"An uncompelling and evasive treatment of a very contemporary subject (...) This is not Kruger’s finest hour. Nor Akin’s either (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"A forceful Diane Kruger is the main asset (...) The story is riddled with questionable plot devices"

Wendy Ide: Screendaily
