Critic Reviews
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A balanced, thorough and well-documented chronicle of how one Germany became two, then one again.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
As familiar as much of this history may be, to hear it recounted by those who lived it lends it a new emotional immediacy.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
A frightening look at Communist-controlled East Germany.
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
On the surface, Beller's film is an acute primer on mid-century socialist statism gone inevitably screwy, but beneath it, there's something to be gleaned about the psychology of German nationhood.
-
Elias Savada, Nitrate Online
...not a frame of film is wasted in telling its story of lives tortured, drugged, humiliated, and terrorized by fascist, pro-communist ideology.
