Quote "Time Magazine, May 21, 2001, by James Poniewozik
Two inadvertent bookends explore the Holocaust from its deceptively mundane beginning to a heretofore unstaged end. Conspiracy re-enacts the 90-minute meeting in which silky-voiced SS bureaucrat Reinhard Heydrich (Kenneth Branagh) gently bullies a roomful of Nazi functionaries into accepting the Final Solution as a fait accompli. A bloodless yet brutal testament to the violence of euphemism and groupthink¡Xeerily indistinguishable from any middle managers' meeting¡Xit is the banality of evil brought unignorably to life."
Notable last sentence. Movie at its best, not expensive to make, but powerful. Worth re-watching. Highly recommended.
