Summary
Frankfurt, 1958: Johann Radmann, a junior public prosecutor confined to traffic cases, is approached by the journalist Thomas Gnielka with the claim that a former Auschwitz guard is teaching in a local school. Encouraged by Attorney General Fritz Bauer, Radmann pulls on the thread and finds that many Germans his age have never heard of the camp, while men who staffed it live openly as bakers, clerks and fathers. As he takes statements from survivors and combs through American-held records, the inquiry costs him allies in the ministry and forces questions about his own father's war. Giulio Ricciarelli's German drama fictionalises the groundwork laid for the 1963 Frankfurt Auschwitz trials.

Only 36 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 36 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 43 of whom clear the calibration test. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Labyrinth of Lies lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 36.
