Pick of the week
Nuremberg

It is just over 80 years since the Nuremberg trials, when top-ranking Nazis were charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Aside from a harrowing sequence of actual death camp footage, James Vanderbilt’s intense drama comes at the historic event from the angle of cocky American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek), tasked with assessing the defendants’ mental health. He finds himself in a battle of wills with lead Nazi Hermann Göring (a chillingly smug Russell Crowe), one that he’s not really capable of winning. Michael Shannon gets a chunk of screentime as US judge Robert Jackson, but it’s when Malek and Crowe go head to head that the film really clicks. Simon Wardell
