Jessica Kiang Sight & Sound Sep 18, 2026
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 Sep 14, 2026
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 Rita Di Santo Morning Star (UK) 6 days ago
5/5
A remarkable film, Woman Unknown is both elegant and engrossing. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Sep 16, 2026
The real magnificence of Woman Unknown is how utterly it makes us wonder, and that makes it a wonderful film. Go to Full Review Luke Hicks The Film Stage Sep 11, 2026
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 Read all reviews
