What Critics and Others Are Saying
“Stirring.”
—Kevin Spencer, Los Angeles Times
“It wasn’t until I saw Boaz Dvir’s very moving forthcoming documentary about him that I truly understood Michel’s life, and perhaps the message of it.”
—Hadley Freeman, The Guardian
“Through extensive research and two dozen interviews with members of Cojot’s family, associates, and Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, a picture of Cojot emerged as a man haunted by the murder of his father.”
—Gerri Miller, Jewish Journal
“Like something ripped from the pages of a bestselling spy thriller.”
—Josh Weiss, Forbes
"An astounding tale of redemption and valor, layered with a poignant story of family healing."
—Kathryn Bernheimer, Boulder Jewish News
“"The thrilling true story of Michel Cojot, [who] … planned a mission of revenge. But fate had other ideas.”
—Louisa Walters, Jewish News
“Full of twists and turns."
—Alexandra Jones, The Burg
“Working with Boaz Dvir has been truly inspiring. His ability to transform complex historical events into an emotional and cinematic journey makes this film both timely and unforgettable.”
—Hedva Goldschmidt, Go2Films
“Thrilling.”
—The Film Stage
“The twist in Cojot’s story is that he, a man whose brave actions played a key role in the ultimate saving of so many lives, was ready to take a life only a year earlier.”
—Renee Ghert-Zand, The Times of Israel
“The story is so remarkable.”
—Julie Sherman, Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival
“To Kill a Nazi uncovers a story so astonishing that, were it presented as fiction, audiences might accuse the screenwriter of going over the top .... [Boaz] Dvir, an award-winning documentarian with a journalist’s instinct for verification, approaches the material more as a character study wrapped inside a geopolitical thriller than a conventional Holocaust documentary”
—Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia
“Though it is a documentary, it has the feel of fiction … [The film’s theme] has an indefinite shelf life.”
—Simi Horwitz, Forward
