Hannah Arendt (2012)

A look at the life of philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt, who reported for The New Yorker on the war crimes trial of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann.

Compelling portrayal is mostly to Barbara Sukowa's credit, who delivers a remarkable performance, but otherwise direction is messy and inconsequential.

Maltin**1/2: "Impassioned but flawed biopic...Yet another one of von Trotta's thought-provoking portayals of strong, complex women, but too much is left unexplained. You have to read the end credits  to know that Arendt's American pal and supporter (McTeer) is none other than novelist-activist Mary McCarthy."
