See You Down The Road I watched this film at a pivotal time in my life. A time when I am transitioning from a nomadic existence to a fixed place. Though my nomadic life looked different. I never lived in a van, slept in a car once or twice. We could always stay in Airbnbs,...

This miniseries moved something in me, and that is what I want to write about. It will probably serve no great purpose, but the thoughts stirred by those unsettled feelings need to get out. So here they are. Even the almost incomprehensible brutality of the crime surfaces only with great caution. But that is precisely...

I can hardly contain my enthusiasm, yet the right words don't seem to come to mind that would lend color to all these feelings glowing within me. So I remain with the banal, with the simple. I stay with the kind of description for which I have words. That will have to do. The enthusiasm...

It seems more like a satirical interpretation than a true biopic. Much remains untold, but what is shown are presumably the highlights of this life. A life on ice that unfortunately failed to captivate me – I nevertheless watched it to the end. The most interesting character was the mother, in her coldness and ruthlessness,...

Moving. Authentic. Hopeful. That's how I experienced this film, this little gem I encountered by chance. At its core, it's about the principle of restorative justice.

I haven't read any of the books, so I was able to simply immerse myself in the sci-fi story. I'm not disappointed, but not completely thrilled either. The quality of the images is outstanding, the atmosphere fantastic. What impressed me most is how technology is used by people in these worlds to navigate their environment...

Seeing Sandra Bullock in a drama was unusual. I didn't expect that from her. She surprised me in a positive way. Not only her—but especially her—was outstanding. The whole film captivated me from the beginning and didn't let go until the end. And that's exactly what I like about the film. Many films of this...

I tried. I was even looking forward to it. But I was disappointed. Nothing about this film captivated or moved me. There was no story. I found the cinematography unappealing, dull, and empty. I could hardly follow the conversations because the dialogue was often very unclear, which annoyed me greatly. The entire film was boring...

What a breathtaking play in an oppressively sad atmosphere, in which so much happens on different levels. I laughed and cried, but mostly I was just deeply moved. Outstanding acting and staging. Simply fantastic. Never before has a film moved me in this way. For me, it was a deeply intense emotional and physical experience....
