	Boston's Weekly Dig: Movies: SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sophie Scholl—a protestor who died at the hands of the Nazis—was an eloquent hero for the ideology of freedom.
		Sophie and her brother Hans, both students at the University of Munich, are active members of the White Rose, an underground cadre of anti-Nazi agitators.
		I wouldn’t say that this film is a failure—Julia Jentsch gives an excellent performance as Sophie, suggesting a tiny kernel of fear that struggles with the character’s larger resolve—but ultimately, it leans too heavily on back-and-forth dialogue between Sophie and her interrogator, as they trade barbs about the nature of duty and national sacrifice.

	Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2006): Reviews
		Sophie did no more or less than her brother, but he's ignored for nearly all of the movie because it's easier to stir up compassion - it's easier to manipulate the audience - when the subject is a woman.
		Sophie Scholl is the subject of a feature film that has earned an Oscar nomination for a Germany she would have loved to live in.
		Sophie Scholl is not as devastatingly moving as "The White Rose," but it, too, evokes awe in lesser beings.

		Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage came as a personal recommendation from a friend, and when he also presented to me the DVD I had no choice but to watch it, and for that I thank him.
		Scholl representing the opposition to the regime and the interrogator presenting the face of the regime.
		As the film develops Scholl's realisation of the seriousness of her situation and her approaching fate grows along with her resolution to that fate and her belief to her cause, a belief that at the beginning of the movie she doesn't seem so selflessly committed to.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
		Our first impression of Sophie, however, is not that of a political subversive, but rather a callow schoolgirl, singing along to the radio with another bobby-soxer, which makes her later heroism all the more remarkable and inspiring.
		Hoping to incite a student uprising, Sophie agrees to help her brother Hans (Fabian Hinrichs) -- they are both members of a resistance group known as the "White Rose" -- to distribute anti-war leaflets on campus, an act for which they are promptly arrested.
		Based on long-hidden official transcripts of the case, the remainder of the film details Sophie's intense three-day cross examination by Gestapo interrogator Robert Mohr (an understated turn by Alexander Held), the resulting "trial," and her execution.

	'Sophie Scholl' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		The story of Scholl, executed by the German government in 1943 when she was but 21 years old for being a member of that country's anti-Nazi White Rose student movement, is well known enough to have inspired at least two previous motion pictures.
		And it is to Scholl that Traudl Junge, the protagonist of "Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary," refers at the close of that moving documentary when she says that if this young woman knew the truth about Hitler, she should have as well.
		The current "Sophie Scholl" focuses on the last six days of the character's life, from the night before her arrest to the moment of her execution.

	Sophie Scholl – The Final Days (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sophie is pitted against Nazi interrogator Robert Mohr (Alexander Held), a savvy, tough-minded professional who suspects, but does not have decisive proof, that Sophie and Hans have something to do the White Rose resistance.
		Throughout her ordeal, Sophie’s guiding light — symbolized by the rays of the sun, often regarded by Sophie with upturned face — is her Christian faith, a cornerstone of her critique of Nazi ideology and atrocities, and a taproot of her moral strength.
		Sophie Scholl is one of a very few films that accomplishes one of the rarest and most valuable of cinematic achievements: It makes heroic goodness not just admirable, but attractive and interesting.

	Movie Review: Sophie Scholl - The Final Days
		Sophie Scholl - The Final Days opens with the title character, a plain college student, singing to an American record in English.
		Sophie and her brother, Hans (Fabian Hinrichs), whose father also defied the Nazis, have joined a resistance movement in Munich.
		A particular cut scene develops Sophie's worship of American culture, with references to Count Basie, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday, and there's a poignant letter-writing scene, too, in which she writes longingly of joy, happiness and laughter, like a child relishing a bright future in spite of dark surroundings.

	Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
		Sophie Scholl: The Final Days wants to avoid the sentiment that is inherent in the details of her tragic demise, but in doing so, it's leeched the emotional power out of her life and death.
		Sophie Scholl: The Final Days does a good job of catching the heady optimism of youth, and the fearless dedication to a lost cause that only the true believer can muster.
		As Sophie, Julia Jentsch is so good, so coolly passionate and unaffectedly moving in her pursuit of justice, the performance transcends the workmanlike trappings of the film itself.

	Reviews by Kathy Bledsoe: Sophie Scholl
		The film tells the story of Sophieâ€™s last six days of life after she and her brother are arrested in 1943 for distributing leaflets denouncing the Hitler regime and trying to renew the wounded spirit of the German people by helping them to see how they had been deceived.
		Sophie dons the sweater, or takes off her coat to reveal the sweater, at key times in the film, just as Rothemand shoots the Nazi flag to recapture the attention of his viewers just when they think they will never see color again.
		Sophie went to the guillotine peacefully, only wearing handcuffs, but it was not out of resignation.

	Austin Film Society :: AFS @ the Dobie - SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sophie's descent into the third circle of the Reich commences with a trip to the interrogation room where she is first separated from Hans.
		The word "freedom" indeed echoes throughout SOPHIE SCHOLL, and, in the final analysis, it's the definition of this single word that separates Sophie from the man questioning her.
		Sophie Scholl's definition comes from a more intangible source, yet one far less prone to error: "Your conscience," goes her simple, ceaseless refrain.

	european-films.net - review: Sophie Scholl - die letzten Tage (Sophie Scholl - The Final Days) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The titular character in Sophie Scholl – die letzten Tage (Sophie Scholl – The Final Days) was a real person, a girl who was part of a student resistance movement called Die weiße Rose (The White Rose) which staged anti-Nazi protests in and around Munich in the early 1940s.
		Sophie is played by Julia Jentsch, the Berliner actress previously seen in Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei (The Edukators) and her performance here is nothing short of riveting.
		Sophie Scholl –die letzten Tage can easily be added to this small group of films that is elevated by the sheer force of its central performance (all films also name the central heroine in the title).
