5 stars (Exceptional) Great shots and a Max Von Sydow narration bring you under Lars' spell. Perhaps his most accessible movie. Important commentary on postwar Germany. ~bikewrench
4 stars (Very Good) Gruelling black-and white "journey" through postwar Germany. Impressively upsetting, it's neither travelogue nor documentary. Wellington Film Festival 1992. ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) There are some memorable bleak scenes particularly early in the film but the generally interesting screenplay lost its impetus about two-thirds of the way through. The running time needed to be a shade shorter. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Really good. One of his best ~emjay
