'...reminds us what can also prevail is bloody-minded, unpredictable human nature.'

'In Darkness definitely deserved its Oscar nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category'

'the film never hides its uncomfortable truths in the shadows.'

'Socha's conversion is slow, reluctant and convincing.'
