Moviegoers are saying
My Neighbor Adolf emerges as a surprisingly heartwarming meditation on aging and trauma disguised as an unlikely comedy about a man who may or may not be Hitler. While the central premise divides audiences between those charmed by its absurdity and those put off by its implausibility, reviewers consistently praise the committed performances of David Hayman and Udo Kier as two elderly men finding connection through their shared loneliness.

Unfortunately, more bland than broad humor otherwise stands in for Polsky and Herzog’s personalities.

While the lead actors are clearly committed, the movie gives them little to do besides exchange verbal invective.

The film at once wrings this premise for whimsical absurdism and slow-burn suspense, on each side vulgarizing the memory of the Holocaust.
