RTThe Times (UK)Apr 2, 2015

An unsettlingly banal insight into the mind of the architect the Final Solution.

RTGuardianApr 2, 2015

The decision to add in sound effects to zhoosh up the imagery may irk some purists, but Lapa also knows when silence is most effective.

RTLittle White LiesApr 2, 2015

Works despite director Lapa's little impositions.

The Decent One scratches the surfaces of a man without much of a personality who did terrible things. It comes as no great shock to discover there isn't really anything underneath.
