This is the film to win over Spielberg skeptics.

Top CriticSpielberg made the picture with sufficient professional gravitas to signal that he understood the line he was walking. But it is ultimately just a movie, and we all know that in a black-and-white film, chocolate syrup can be read as blood.

Spielberg has painted his masterpiece with his own blood.

Top CriticSpielberg does an uncommonly good job both of holding our interest over 185 minutes and of showing more of the nuts and bolts of the Holocaust than we usually get from fiction films.
02/05/07
Spielberg's tribute to the Holocaust reps Hollywood cinema at its best. Though looking at the phenom from Schindler's narrow POV the b/w film is sharply-written and anchored by three great tunrs from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and especially Ralph Fiennes

Schindler's List s’inscrit parmis les meilleurs films de Steven Spielberg et se veut un portrait très réussi de l’holocauste et de l’horreur qui en découle.
11/17/04
Dirigido com uma discrição pouco comum em Spielberg, o filme emociona por sua crueldade e conquista graças à complexidade do caráter de Schindler.
06/04/04
There's no trust here from the director that the audience might be able to fathom the horrors of the Holocaust if the lines between good and bad aren't distinctly drawn.
