Rent In the Fade (2017)

Intense & Believable - In the Fade review by IG

This is a gripping film that gets off to a quick start and builds in intensity, Diane Kruger's performance is first rate. The story is entirely believable which will not sit well with everyone, and, some will find the subject matter not exactly entertaining. However, it does reflect the times we live in and in our view is well worth a watch.

harrowingly plausible - In the Fade review by CP Customer

Diane Kruger's performance is amazing, and the story is compelling right from the start, although the courtroom drama is rather truncated and less plausible. The conclusion of the film is particularly harrowing. In essence the story is wholly plausible, although the first half is more credible than the latter half of the film.

A finale that's conclusive, clear & has "no-loose-ends". (Makes a change)! - In the Fade review by DW

With some solid acting & a sectioned, sequential story line (no flashbacks, bloody or otherwise) this is a fine World Cinema watch albeit with a soft-propaganda message (clarified over the closing credits, in case we missed it).

I think I know how the British justice system works but I was fascinated to watch the section of this film devoted to German courtroom procedures which were the most enjoyable bits for me, quite an eye-opener. A few of the "you don't want to miss a word" courtroom speeches were both longish & fast & I felt the otherwise excellent sub-title function couldn't keep up; just me being picky, I suppose. See what you think.
