Russell Crowe was excellent in this movie as Herman Göring, but I’m not so convinced that Rami Malek was the best choice for the psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who was engaged to assess the prisoners’ fitness to stand trial. I’m a bit wary of ‘based on a true story’ films and suspected that it had been manipulated for dramatic effect. But then I listened to the podcast Based on a True Story Episode 378 Nuremberg with Jack El-Hai, who wrote The Nazi and the Psychiatrist on which the film was based. The major difference was that Douglas Kelley wasn’t even there during the trial, having been promoted and returned back to America. Otherwise, the film was fairly faithful to the events.
My rating: 3/5 stars

Thank you for your review. I had a family funeral at the end of 2025 and won’t be going to the pictures for quite a long time yet. However I had already thought about the film, as soon as the Melbourne programme was published.
Clearly Nuremberg was promoted as psychological thriller historical drama film (at the Toronto International Film Festival). Now while I am quite prepared to risk a WW2 “historical drama”, I am not prepared to risk seeing a “psychological thriller” that entertains at the cost of being facing the worst tragedy in history.
