Critic Reviews

Tom Huddleston, Time Out
For a film about revolutionaries, this plays it far too safe.
Philip French, Observer [UK]
It's an intelligent, complex, persuasive film...
Emma Dibdin, Total Film
This is a shrewd two-pronged portrait of psychological unravelling against a vast political backdrop, with a daring, disturbing performance from Lauzemis.
Allan Hunter, Daily Express
The film effectively conveys the way in which key events from the Sixties radicalised them both and propelled Gudrun into the arms of charismatic activist Andreas Baader.
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
Has the same slightly flavourless character as Uli Edel's 2008 film The Baader Meinhof Complex.
Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
The themes foment, yet never quite ferment into a convincing brew.
David Jenkins, Little White Lies
A very, very solid, if a tad unadventurous, debut feature from Andres Veiel.
Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
If you already own The Baader Meinhof Complex and you're looking for the other half of the definitive Red Army Faction double-bill, here it is.

Magnus X

A tragic and moving film with great performances by August Diehl as Bernward Vesper and especially Lena Lauzemis as Gudrun Ensslin. Great score by Annette Focks.
