1) The New York Times - By turns intimate and expansive, Transit is a thrilling, at times harrowing labyrinth of a movie. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
17) Screen International - Like all of his work, the writer/director’s fourth film in Berlinale competition is elegantly made, ingenious and intellectually challenging. Yet it’s also too much like hard work to be entirely satisfying and, dramatically, it suffers from the same condition as its protagonists: inertia. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
18) CineVue - Petzold struggles to keep hold of the reigns, wielding the effects of melodrama with little to no precision or psychological acuity, and leaving the essential romance at the heart of the story to be rendered almost entirely unbelievable. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
