What we think

Great Freedom is unsparing in its examination of the harrowing emotional effects of this system, but there’s beauty and tenderness here, too.

What others think

Great Freedom is a formidably intelligent and well-acted prison movie and also a love story – or perhaps a paradoxically platonic bromance, stretching from the end of the second world war to the moon landing.
Peter Bradshaw the Guardian
A spiraling, repetitive film that uses its structure to drive home a powerful queer narrative.
Lillian Crawford Little White Lies
