	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"'Hannah Arendt' is a remarkably successful attempt (...) even viewers who have never read a word of her books will be stirred by her intellectual and emotional courage in Barbara Sokuwa’s award-worthy performance"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Hannah Arendt' conveys the glamour, charisma and difficulty of a certain kind of German thought.... The movie turns ideas into the best kind of entertainment"	POS
