The Hollywood Reporter
Gripping, intense and often very moving, The Endless Trench pulls together details from some of the jaw-dropping accounts of these lifelong nightmares, recasting the hidden history of a so-called “mole” and of his endlessly suffering wife as a profoundly involving, superbly played story about love as protection from fear. - 75
Movie Nation
This is an intimate epic that alarms as it sprints out of the gate, settles into a lingering tension and even as it is winding down, manages to keep the viewer frightened and on tenterhooks. That’s what living under a fascist regime is like. - 70
Variety

The New York Times
It’s fertile thematic ground, but as in most survival movies, showy feats of filmmaking take precedence over insight or revelation.
