NewsBytes recommends: Rami Malek's 'Nuremberg' is a must-watch
Rami Malek is stepping into the shoes of US Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley in the new WWII drama Nuremberg, out November 10, 2025, in NYC.
To make his performance authentic, Malek actually consulted a psychiatrist and drew on his own past experiences working with mental health professionals.
The film centers on Kelley's intense sessions with Nazi war criminals—especially Hermann Goring, played by Russell Crowe.
Film is based on real events
Based on Jack El-Hai's book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, Nuremberg explores how Kelley tried to understand the minds behind some of history's darkest acts—and how that took a toll on him emotionally.
Malek was drawn to the project for its depth and relevance.
He's joined by Michael Shannon and Richard E. Grant in this thought-provoking look at history, now playing in theaters.
