"Nuremberg" Divides Critics After Acclaimed TIFF Premiere

In November 2025, the psychological thriller and historical drama "Nuremberg" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to a rapturous response, receiving a 4-minute standing ovation, one of the longest at the festival. The film, directed by James Vanderbilt and based on Jack El-Hai's 2013 book, features an ensemble cast led by Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.

While critics gave "Nuremberg" a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, they noted that the film's slow pace and emotional restraint limited its exploration of the subject's complexity. However, they praised Crowe's strong performance as Hermann Göring, the Luftwaffe head and Hitler's second in command.

This past Friday, "Nuremberg" debuted in the domestic box office, landing at #5 and earning $1.4 million across 1,802 locations. The film, which leans more towards award-season, adult-oriented prestige cinema, is expected to maintain its position in the top 5 over the opening weekend. Despite the acclaimed TIFF premiere, "Nuremberg" has faced a slow box office, with few crowd-pulling films currently in theaters.
