Critic Reviews
-
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
It's a slick, ambitious movie that doesn't always nail all the many moods and themes it's after. But the actors give it force and depth.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
The film's outrageousness would be more palatable if leavened with more wit, or if the characterizations possessed more nuances.
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Writer-director Oskar Roehler spends all his energy on cataloging ''outrageous' behavior, and none on giving the transgressions any meaning.
-
Jay Weissberg, Variety
In shuttling between drama and farce, more than a few balls get dropped.
-
Gene Seymour, Newsday
There's fierce energy and -- thanks to the performances -- affecting emotion in the movie that almost makes you forget that Rainer Werner Fassbinder told a similar story much better 28 years ago with In a Year with 13 Moons.
