This timely historical drama was written, co-produced, and directed by James Vanderbilt. It is based on the 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai. In Nuremberg, psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) is challenged with determining if Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) is fit to stand trial at the Nuremberg trials. Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Mark O’Brien, Colin Hanks, Wrenn Schmidt, Lydia Peckham, Richard E. Grant, and Michael Shannon have supporting roles in the film. The film’s world premiere was in the Gala Presentations section of the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, on September 7, 2025, where it received a four-minute standing ovation, one of TIFF’s longest standing ovations ever.
