    Enjoyable but less engaging than 'Run Lola Run'.

    Such a beautiful and well done movie. Often mindbending and heartbreaking. Incredible score/soundtrack too. I'm definitely kicking myself for not seeing this sooner.

    This director has so much flare in his technique but there is really no presence of thought.

    Beautiful movie, and Benno Fuermann at his best.

    Lynn got this one. She liked it. I didn't. Of course, I'm not really into dramas these days. My dislike may have had something to do with our two screaming 16-month-olds protesting sleeping in the same room for the first time (it didn't last the night).

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

What's special about the film is at a deeper level, down where [Tykwer] engages with the souls of his characters. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Doesn't lack for ideas, nor for images that will sweep you up in their boldness and have the resonance of dreams. full review

June 29, 2001
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's dreary and self-indulgent but has its crystalline moments. full review
