"It’s a remarkable film — chilling and profound, meditative and immersive, a movie that holds human darkness up to the light and examines it as if under a microscope." - Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"The proximity to evil, and the evil that flourishes by way of silence and cooperation, permeates every frame." - Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
The new film from Jonathan Glazer, director of Sexy Beast and Under the Skin, The Zone of Interest won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival where it was hailed as ‘a masterpiece’ (BBC) and ‘a landmark movie’ (The Times).
