The Press Reviews
A thriller made riveting by an emotional performance from Diane Kruger. Full Review
This is not Kruger's finest hour. Nor Akin's either. Full Review
Kruger's powerhouse performance in her first German-language production goes a long way toward compensating for the narrative's dip into overly crystalline waters ... Full Review
The more I think about it, the more I believe it might actually be one of Akin's best. Full Review
Doggedly conventional in its approach, the film walks an uneasy line between unflinching honesty and crass emotional exploitation, before tipping into the latter in a questionable final act. Full Review
A mediocre film wrapped around and weighing down a truly great performance. Full Review
Ms. Kruger ... leaves a vivid, haunting impression. Full Review
Akin was inspired to tell the story by real-life political events in Germany, and his skills as a filmmaker are such that escape from this unsettling film is not in the cards. Full Review
