Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: A- --
Holland's film is extraordinarily generous with its characters in ways that take the story beyond being a historical fable of altruism and endurance.
The Playlist
Rating: B+ --
Based on a true story, "In Darkness" is obviously tough to watch, especially since Holland's camera is both unforgiving and relentlessly human.

Detroit News
4 stars out of 5 -- Wieckiewicz is pitch perfect as Socha....The film's acknowledgment of our moral mutability elevates it above the normal WWII tale...
Box Office
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] bluntly realistic Holocaust drama....The film never hides its uncomfortable truths in the shadows.
Total Film
Rating: 4/5 --
There is release at the end of this fine film, but no euphoria; just a sense of having come through a period of evil, the memory of whose darkness will never entirely lift.

A very robust piece of work without ever truly getting under your skin.
