By all accounts, Taylor's play was a more experimental piece than this film, in which the production values, like the acting, veer between the acceptable and the stodgy.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

The subject -- self-deception and failure of nerve in an unjust world -- is too messy and horrible to laugh away.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Good contributes very little to a conundrum that has occupied historians and psychologists for half a century.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Good has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of 
 a 'good German' look creepily contemporary. He shows us the horror 
 of ignorance.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
It definitely wouldn't have done anyone involved with Good any harm to ask what relevance heavy-handed history plays have to do with the world of today.
