A german movie that dares. Now daring may be a bit too much credit, especially because we are talking about the Drama department, something German movies seem to relish in. But this has an edge, because of its interesting story and interesting characters.
Unfortunately one of the downfalls often with German movies is that the acting seems to vary at times. Emotion is not being conveyed as it should be. Dialog sounding like robots without emotion saying words. Of course others have even more issues with the movie, because it can seem dull and annoying at times too. But I felt the pacing was ok, and you don't something to happen every other minute. This is a slow burner and it works for and with the people involved in this. So yes quite a few flaws but still one of the better outputs of German cinema in the last couple of years
