In the Fade's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
The film?s conclusion will raise questions and it certainly leaves the door open to discussion.
El País
The end can create moral doubts in the civilized spectator.
Variety
Diane Kruger?s powerhouse performance in her first German-language production goes a long way toward compensating for the narrative?s dip into overly crystalline waters.
Roger Ebert
The intention is to focus on violence against immigrants, and on the imperfect and capricious quality of justice under law that has sometimes attended crimes of this nature.
The Wrap
While director Fatih Akin offers polish and skill, there?s only so much he can do with what amounts to a very familiar drama.
The Playlist
'In the Fade' try as it might to be some kind of deep character study and tap into the theme of justice, is a flatline of a film.
The Guardian
Kruger herself does her best, but it is not a particularly good performance, though there is little or nothing for her to work with in writing or direction.
