Jonathan Glazer's Holocaust drama 'The Zone of Interest', released in UK cinemas, has received critical acclaim and a five-star review from Empire magazine. Nominated for several Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director, the film is produced by A24 and has been reviewed by figures such as Eric Pickles and publications including The Telegraph and The Jewish Chronicle. It offers a unique portrayal of the Holocaust, focusing on the life of an Auschwitz commandant and his family in 1943, as reviewed by ProvMagazine. Critics have noted the film's powerful depiction of evil flourishing in mundane circumstances and the disturbing nature of denial, with Boyd Tonkin questioning if the film takes a risk with its audience's moral judgment.
I’ve always been perplexed by the joy with which Nazis lived their private lives while torturing & murdering millions of people just yards away. The Zone of Interest puts that onscreen. It is genuinely one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to put into words.

"The Zone of Interest" exquisitely portrays the Höss’s demonically delusional “paradise” at Auschwitz. It is instructive for us all. How easy it is to look away from horrors if we ourselves are comfortable. @zoneofinterest @ProvMagazine https://t.co/wC2IKP4Se2
