Nuremberg 2025

Directed by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac screenwriter), Nuremberg is a psychological thriller and historical drama based on the 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai. The film centers on the true story of the cat-and-mouse game played between an American U.S. Army psychiatrist and the highest-ranking Nazi official on trial. Rami Malek stars as Dr. Douglas Kelley, who is assigned to evaluate the mental fitness of the imprisoned Nazi leaders ahead of the historic Nuremberg Trials. His primary subject is Reichsmarshall Hermann Göring, played with malevolent charisma by Russell Crowe. The film explores the morally murky, intense conversations between the two men as Kelley tries to "dissect evil" to understand the atrocities, while Göring attempts to manipulate his way out of a death sentence. Michael Shannon also stars as the passionate U.S. Chief Prosecutor, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson. The film premiered to a four-minute standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2025 and has received generally positive reviews from critics. It holds a "Fresh" rating of roughly 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised the film as a "handsomely crafted historical drama" and lauded Russell Crowe's portrayal of Göring as one of his best performances in years. However, reviews are mixed regarding the performance of Rami Malek and the script, which some found too formulaic or lacking in authentic historical nuance compared to other films on the topic. Despite this, it is considered a strong piece of awards season prestige cinema. Nuremberg was released theatrically in the United States by Sony Pictures Classics on November 7, 2025, and in the UK on November 14, 2025. The film has had a moderate box office run, grossing approximately $12.2 million worldwide in its first few weeks. It has shown strong "legs" in its run, appealing to older audiences who generally wait longer to see films. Following its theatrical run, the film is distributed by Sony Pictures Classics/Sky Studios. It is expected to arrive on digital rental (VOD) platforms in late December 2025. In the UK, it is scheduled to premiere on Sky Cinema in January 2026. Read More
