      • "Hannah Arendt" is not a particularly subtle picture, nor is it that original. However, Von Trotta's direction is assured and the film has an incredibly strong performance at its core, and it asks a number of important questions, even though it doesn't dare to answer them.

    Von Trotta’s depictions of women have earned her the titles of “the world’s leading feminist filmmaker” and “Germany’s foremost female film director”.

    By the film’s account, Arendt’s struggle takes place between her obstinate philosophy of thinking, judgment, and criminal culpability, and a massive readership whose disagreement with that philosophy turns hysterically belligerent. Though Arendt is the recipient to a barrage of hate mail and subject to a truly harrowing visit from a carload of Moss...
