10 / 10
Translated from swedish: The film is a masterpiece both in how it is filmed and edited, and the sound is worthy of a grand prize. It is perceptive, striking, clear, corrosive, and poignant.

10 / 10
Translated from swedish: Director Jonathan Glazer's "Zone of Interest" captures the indifference that made the Holocaust possible. The hidden-camera realism about Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss's family life as a neighbor to Auschwitz is a repulsive masterpiece.

10 / 10
Translated from swedish: There is something about the relatable pursuit of happiness that almost makes one feel guilty, and somewhere, the question of how far away one can be from the world's misery and still continue to live a carefree life in picturesque comfort is, of course, also raised.

Translated from swedish: More than the banality of evil, it's about the everyday obscenity of evil

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "The Zone of Interest" is uncannily topical, and always will be.
- Emma Gray Munthe -
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Occasionally the film is as fantastically ugly as it is uglily fantastic. It sabotages habitual viewing and drills deep holes in the soul.
- Sebastian LindvallSwedish: The radical Holocaust drama "The zone of interest" drills deep holes in the soul

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "We must never forget" is something you often hear when people talk about the Holocaust and its consequences. And it's certainly hard to forget a film like "The Zone of Interest", a film that reminds us that some evil cannot be deciphered and where no causal analysis in the world can assure us of how a similar event can be prevented in the future.
- Oskar PetterssonSwedish: Review: The Zone of Interest (2024) – evil hard to forget
-
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "The Zone of Interest" is a tremendously powerful drama that touches deeply. It is not for everyone, but it will hardly leave anyone untouched.
- Jonna VanhataloSwedish: Eerily ironic and heart-wrenching as Glazer makes a movie about the Holocaust
-
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: So it's a film where the filmmaking and the idea of how they film and use the sound are more memorable than the story itself. In 105 minutes, it becomes a bit too long for its own good in my opinion. But it gets a jolt in the third act.
- Linus AndersenSwedish: A smart and well-made film
-
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: It is impossible to remain unaffected in the face of Auschwitz.
- Lars BöhlinSwedish: Family fun next door to Auschwitz
-
8 / 10

-
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "The Zone of Interest" is an important film that not only depicts one of the darkest periods in human history, but also raises questions about morality, responsibility, and humanity's capacity for both evil and goodness.

Translated from swedish: As an everyday description of a grotesque time, it comes close and feels uncomfortably current.
