Slant Magazine
Sentimentality may make the movie's agony more digestible, but its darkness resists any glossing over of what isn't only France's, but Europe's painful legacy. - 63
Boston Globe
A big, sorrowful, dramatically trite period epic about a bleak chapter in the history of modern France. - 60
Variety
Turning one of the darkest moments in modern French history into syrupy historical drama, writer-director Rose Bosch's The Round Up is a polished, pathos-driven re-creation of the Vichy regime's mass imprisonment and disposal of 13,000 Parisian Jews in summer 1942. - 60
The Guardian
It's a straightforward, heartfelt drama, well acted and well produced. - 58
Portland Oregonian
There are two halves to La Rafle. The successful one involves the personal tribulations of the families and other souls who were jammed into a Paris velodrome for days under intolerable conditions. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
It is a paint-by-numbers Holocaust movie, scrupulously balanced, always cautious, occasionally clichéd, often sentimental. - 50
The New York Times
A well-meaning but inexpertly dramatized account of the roundup of 13,000 Parisian Jews in the summer of 1942. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
A bankable cast, a hint of controversy and high production values may play in their favor commercially, but Bosch and her producer-husband Ilan Goldman have come dangerously close to making a feel-good movie about the Holocaust.
