Petzold establishes a strong sense of time and place, from the seedy, dimly lit confines of the Phoenix cabaret to the ticking of the clock in Lene's bedroom. He brings postwar Berlin to vivid life without calling attention to period trappings.

MiamiArtZine
PHOENIX is an intoxicating witches' brew, equal parts melodrama and moral parable, that audaciously mixes diverse elements to compelling, disturbing effect.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Everything in Phoenix is designed to prepare us for the knockout ending, which couldn't be simpler in itself, but has the force of a long-delayed emotional release.

Sydney Morning Herald
Never less than intriguing, coolly intelligent and flawlessly paced...
New York Times
Life is a bombed-out, soulless cabaret in Christian Petzold's Phoenix, a haunting portrait of identity, loss and the search for answers in post-WWII Berlin.

Variety
Filled with inky blues and blacks, the look of [Phoenix] recalls Jean-Pierre Melville's masterful Army of Shadows, except this is a more intimate effort about two war-traumatized individuals.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Its mystery-like trappings and twists keep us not so much guessing as waiting, to see who knows what and how that knowledge will be revealed -- and what that revelation will mean.
Chicago Sun-Times
