3 stars (Good Enough) The period work by the filmmakers is worth the price of admission. The vulnerability of the two main characters comes through in the fine performances of the leads. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Fine acting but lacks pace. Typical bilious green interiors, though the city where the film is made is Cologne, not Berlin; and may even lack urgency for that. ~Sandy
