"He (Spielberg) has made many wonderfully entertaining films in his career and some hugely dramatic and moving ones, but this will be his legacy and it is hard to imagine a more important one. It (THE LAST DAYS) is particularly powerful because it strips away any grand political design from the Third Reich's plan to exterminate the Jews and exposes it for the sheer brutality it was."

- Mike Kerrigan, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

"The Holocaust is so overwhelming that it threatens literally to become unthinkable—to become an abstraction of evil. THE LAST DAYS make(s) it real by telling some of the countless small stories that make up the larger ones."

- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"It's impossible not to be moved and shocked by THE LAST DAYS."

- Peter Stack, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

"THE LAST DAYS is a unique and important work, and it has a way of firing up one's passionate interest in Holocaust matters all over again. A viewer is unlikely to forget some of what is said here, and even more unlikely to leave the theater without one imperative thought beating in the brain: never again."
