Reception
Richard Brody of The New Yorker reviewed the film in 2008: "Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands."{{Cite web|last=Brody|first=Richard|date=2008-11-24|url=https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/movies/not-reconciled|title=Not Reconciled|work=The New Yorker|accessdate=2012-05-12}}
