We feel for her as a woman because we recognise her as a person and it’s her gaze, rather than any of the myriad close ups on Marie’s needling self-pity and fearfulness, that haunts us into the credits. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com 6 days ago
Staying uncomfortably close to Marie’s battered psyche, this is a brutal film about the insidious violence of occupation, the many ways we can lose our humanity, and a sharp rumination on whether or not resilience is always admirable. Go to Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies Sep 8, 2026
el-Toukhy and Käehne’s sharp writing underpins a strong, pointed narrative, proving there is still rich storytelling potential within the saturated field of films about the Second World War. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About 4 days ago

Woman Unknown comes across like a tonal and thematic bridge between Petzold and Verhoeven’s films on women after the war. Go to Full Review Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 10, 2026
