Honorable Mr. Morgenthau is a spellbinding, illuminating and timely documentary biopic on Henry Morgenthau, Jr., a Holocaust hero who deserves to be better known…. Director Hilan Warshaw combines archival footage and narration to explain the events that led Morgenthau to be an instrumental figure in the creation of the War Refugee Board which funded many daring rescue operations during the Holocaust…. Honorable Mr. Morgenthau feels like a suspense thriller during the second half which, together with the stylish editing, makes the film more cinematic. Interestingly, it eschews talking heads, so it doesn’t feel dry or academic. Bravo to Honorable Mr. Morgenthau.
