The Second World War psychological thriller Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, has earned a near-perfect 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is now available to stream on Now TV.
A Harrowing True Story Brought to Screen
The film chronicles psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, played by Rami Malek, who is tasked with assessing detained Nazi leaders to determine their mental competence for trial. Crowe takes on the role of Hermann Göring, Hitler's second-in-command. The ensemble cast also includes Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Colin Hanks, and Richard E. Grant.
One Rotten Tomatoes reviewer remarked that watching the film "Felt like you were there." The production also achieved an exceptional 95% audience approval rating on the site.
Audience and Critical Praise
Several reviews suggested Crowe's depiction of Göring merited an academy award. One person said: "Great acting across the board with some really big names in the cast. Beautifully filmed with great sets, costumes, music, and backdrops. They did a great job of catching the importance of this historic event."
Another added: "It got really suspenseful in the end, especially if you didn't remember how things went down from your history class. Excellent work. Something that is few and far between these days in our movies and show."
A further review stated: "Russell Crowe delivered an unbelievable performance as Hermann Goring. How was he not nominated for best actor and how was this powerful movie not nominated for Best picture?" The same reviewer praised Malek and noted the film's relevance today, quoting Mark Twain: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."
A Must-Watch for Cinema Fans
An IMDb fan described it as a "solid movie," writing: "I went in completely blind no expectations no idea of the facts or real events behind it. And oh boy what a surprise it turned out to be."
They continued: "The theatre was empty, it was just me sitting there alone, and yet the film completely drew me in from start to finish. The casting is absolutely top notch Russell Crowe and Rami Malek deliver some of their finest performances and the screenplay is masterfully written."
The reviewer concluded: "The dialogue, the pacing, and the psychological tension all come together to create something truly gripping. Even without any prior knowledge of the Nuremberg Trials I was hooked. The storytelling never felt heavy handed instead it made me feel the weight of history. One of the best films I've watched in 2025. A must-watch for anyone who appreciates intelligent, well-acted cinema."
Nuremberg is currently available to stream on Now TV.
