Filmhaus Nürnberg; Nuremberg, Germany (2009)

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"Impressive and affecting... the violence is never fully depicted, but Ladies' Tailor is as disturbing as many far more explicit films about the Nazi genocide."
- Mark Jenkins, Washington City Paper

"A brilliant film." - Leonid Anninskij, Soviet Culture
