Its perhaps a little bland but it isn't entirely dull, just there isn't a whole lot going for it either, so I'm in somewhat of two minds about it. The script is ok and the characters are mildly interesting but its certainly not a gripping watch. Its somewhat thoughtful I suppose. The main character is someone I could feel sorry for and understand her concerns and longing to be elsewhere... I guess its a film about identity really, self identity. This is a domestic drama, with a slightly arty feel to it I suppose. I wouldn't go out of your way to see it but its certainly an alright film in itself, so if it sounds of interest then it may be worth you watching it, yes.Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful. Hopeful. Loved the sexy men who are unwitting rivals (unknown to each other) for this courageous, passionate woman.Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a terrific movie that works on many different levels.Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good portrait of life in Eastern Germany. Magnificent performances, supported by a script with the sensitivity and intelligence to reflect the nuances of the historical context and characters.Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Petzold and Hoss produce truly inspired works of filmmaking. Hoss is an intense presence: tremendous range, great intelligence, and lovely. Petzold is among the very finest of directors of his time, and is still in his prime. His fluid mix of the intellectual, the visceral, melancholy, and unadulterated reality in his films is rare.Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
