    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A subtle yet powerful film which tells its story as much through its dialogue as its cinematography. Not for thrill seekers, its masterstrokes are intimate but not for a moment sentimental. Also a spot-on portrayal of the Austrian psyche, beautifully portrayed by every single one of its actors.

    Cinema noir with subtitles. good cinematography but I found it pedestrian and lacking in real depth. A trial to see it through to the end but I managed-just! Not sure it was worth the effort.

  • Not breathless, but perfection none the-less.

    Nigh-on perfect. Understated, thought-provoking, emotionally resonant (for me at least). No cheap, nasty thrills, just a fantastically observed piece of life. Ignore the cretins who say it is too slow, 'not much happens' or can't be bothered with subtitles. So good that I did what I rarely do and actually bought the dvd.

    awful, very slow-in fact painfully so, not one i would recommend. Not a lot happens in the entire film but the acting is good.

  • Gripping film!

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer , 10 Feb 2013
    This was a very good film - well acted and an interesting storyline. This was the director's debut film, and the main character had no prior acting experience or training. Although this wasn't an action film and the storyline developed slowly, I found it gripping nevertheless - a unique film.

  • Superb film.

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    I really enjoyed this. Great acting, great structure, beautifully shot, kind of easy listening in movie form but with substance. I think the lead character is so well played that you are drawn deep into his world. Can't recommend this enough.
