	Author	Review
United States	David Denby The New Yorker	"The principal suspense in this fascinating movie is generated by the polite, and then not so polite, ferocity of the arguments between the two men."	POS
France	Le Parisien	"fabulous! A wonderful movie"	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"We are in that authorial fantasy by which historical figures become shrewder, sharper and wittier than they surely were in life... But when the actors and the dialogue are this good, one scarcely objects."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The value of 'Diplomacy' is that it produces at least as much unsettlement as relief, compelling the viewer to remain haunted by nightmarish thoughts of what might have happened."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"It's Arestrup who really steals the show, turning von Cholitz into a man who bears the weight of several thousand soldiers, not to mention an entire civilian population, and who suffers under that burden until making a final (...) decision."	POS
