4 stars (Very Good) Wenders' leads are often too petulant and snarky for their own good, but the stunning black-and-white cinematography and easy-going pace help sell Wenders' concerns about the breakdown of communication in 1970s Germany in a respectful and often funny way. ~Anon

3 stars (Good Enough) It drags at times but it is well worth taking the journey. Some of the backdrops are depressing but are authentic. You end up not knowing anything in depth about the 2 characters but the film is long enough to see their relationship develop. ~Tubbs
