De Telegraaf: A beautiful and inspiring story, skillfully and lovingly portrayed. Every camera set-up supports dramatic purpose, and acting is sublime, comprising even the smallest parts.

Algemeen Dagblad: War drama that merits comparison with Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”. Overall excellent interpretations of roles, with a constant thriller element present in the delicate and ambivalent relationship between Süskind and the Nazi officer he has to deal with.

De Volkskrant: “Süskind” is convincing as a historical drama and manages to put a new perspective on a period that had seemingly exhausted the public’s interest. It was director Rudolf van den Berg’s aim to arouse total perplexity at the horrors that took place, and he has succeeded brilliantly.

De Filmkrant: Few Dutch films manage to reflect on the Second World War with so much nuance as “Süskind”. “Black Book”, the last major Dutch movie about the 2^nd World War already tried to look at history with more tones than just black and white. However, with Paul Verhoeven in the director’s chair, this resulted in one bad guy among all the Dutch good guys, and one good guy among all the Nazi bad guys. “Süskind” portrays all the main characters in real shades of gray.
