Film Reviews

"A masterpiece. Christian Petzold is one of the great directors of this young century."

–Jordan Raup, The Film Stage

 

"Outstanding—Petzold’s films are many things, but rarely are they as funny as this discursive tale"

–Jessica Kiang, The New York Times

 

“An absorbing, barbed and frequently funny evisceration of artistic ego”
–Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
