I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I'm not entirely sure that I can explain why but essentially, I think the reason is that the film makers managed to do something different with the plot, music and overall production quality, and transformed what may have otherwise been an ordinary script and film, into something unique and interesting.
If you watch while checking messages on your phone then you won't get the full experience of being completely sucked into the story whether or not you fully understand why.
I've been a fan of Franka Potente since watching Lola Rennt (1998), an epic film, and she completely transforms herself here. She and Benno Fürmann have fantastic on-screen chemistry and every scene is engaging. Many of them provide an unexpected yet highly subtle twist.
I don't want to talk about the plot because it's better to just watch. Nothing extraordinary happened and yet, I feel like I've watched a rare, genuinely interesting and unique creation. Even the ending, which I won't discuss at length, was weird but fitting and completely different to anything I've seen.
I don't really have any criticisms, nothing to speak of anyway.
It's an easy recommendation.
9/10
