Presse

»Out of all nominees it was the most headstrong, the weirdest, and most courageous film. It is awkward and very impressive.« Fritzi Haberlandt, member of the jury Young German Cinema Award 2008

»Never before has the German back country been so strange, bizarre, and at the same time so honest and close as in Müller’s exciting debut. A narrative walk on a tight-rope between caring documentation and arresting narrative cinema.« Oldenburg International Film Festival

»The most controversial film in competition.« Süddeutsche Zeitung

»Hard-hitting drama.« VARIETY

»A homevideo of a different kind, provoking and with artistic ambition.« Blickpunkt Film

»Like a Saarland-Version of Harmony Korine’s Gummo ... a compelling portait of post-proletarian condition.« TIP Berlin
