Synopsis

In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, as the world grapples with the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust, U.S. Army psychiatrist Lt. Col. Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) is assigned the extraordinary task of assessing the mental state of Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), the notorious former Reichsmarschall and Hitler’s second in command, along with other high-ranking Nazi officials.

As the Allies–led by the unyielding chief U.S. prosecutor, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon) alongside Sgt. Howie Triest (Leo Woodall), David Maxwell-Fyfe (Richard E. Grant), Gustave Gilbert (Colin Hanks), Col. John Amen (Mark O’Brien) and Burton C. Andrus (John Slattery)–navigate the monumental task of creating an unprecedented international tribunal to ensure the Nazi regime answers for its atrocities, Kelley gets to know his ‘patients’. But he soon finds himself locked in a psychological duel with Göring, whose charisma and cunning reveal a sobering truth: that ordinary men can commit extraordinary evil.

A solid must-watch.

Based on the 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai, comes writer-producer-director James Vanderbilt’s psychological thriller historical drama, Nuremberg. Starring Rami Malek, Russell Crowe, Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Mark O'Brien, Colin Hanks, Wrenn Schmidt, Lydia Peckham, Richard E. Grant, and Michael Shannon.

The film tells the story of U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Malek) who was tasked to monitor and analyse the mental status of Hermann Göring (Crowe) and other high-ranking Nazis in preparation for and during the Nuremberg trials (an international military tribunal against leaders of defeated Nazi Germany for plotting and carrying out invasions of several countries across Europe and committing atrocities against their citizens in World War II.)

Strap yourself in for one of the year’s most dialogue-heavy and performance-driven films that’s anchored by its star power and source material. This one’s a moving period piece that demands attention and gets it through its engaging reenactment of dissecting evil.

While vaguely reminscent of the successful yet controversial JFK (1991) in which both films feature high profile cases and a prolific ensemble of talent, they are very much their own entities with no further connections other than the importance of being seen. It’s a tough and brutal watch, no doubt, but an equally necessary one at that.

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, who won his Oscar for portraying the heroic protagonist in Gladiator (2000), turns in an equivalently commanding and mighty performance as the terrifying antagonist of this story. But his is not the sole standout performance here. It’s rare for a film to feature this many acting heavyweights and get away with utilising each and every one to their best strengths without feeling over-bloated or compensating. Everyone gets a key role in moving the story along just as they do moments to shine, notably Woodall (of White Lotus fame) who surprises with his empathetic portrayal of Sergeant Howard Triest, a German-born U.S. Army soldier who served as an interpreter to Dr. Kelley.

Nuremberg is a solid must-watch even though no amount of warning would be sufficient to cushion the blow it deals. Just don’t let that hinder you from experiencing it for yourself.
