Critical Reception
"Soderbergh couldn't bring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman back from the dead, but he did the next best thing. He hired George Clooney, who exudes a timeless star quality and plays it hard and achingly romantic as Jake Geismar, an Army war correspondent."*Rolling Stone: The Good German (November 21, 2006)"Working from Joseph Kanon's source novel, Soderbergh has fashioned a painfully accurate pastiche of 1940s cinema. From the noirish lighting and high contrast compositions of The Third Man, to a final scene that borrows liberally from Casablanca, The Good German is a luminous love letter to the glory days of the picture house."BBC: The Good German (2007) (March 8, 2007)
