Excellent film by young team
By a customer , 23 Oct 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Fantastic movie by newcomer Baran Bo Odar. The subject is highly uncomfortable but gripping and excellently told. Nick Summerer's cinematography is stunning, and really adds to the tension. Brilliant piece by this young team which I highly recommend. Prepare yourself for a difficult couple of hours, though - it's not easy viewing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good Film with Tough Subject Matter
By a customer , 31 Mar 2013Interesting film that tells a very difficult story. I'm not sure if it tries to shock or if this is an inherent aspect of the subject matter. There is real craft and sensitivity here though and it is gripping. Reminded me a little of 'The Killing'. Very tough subject matter but a good film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Gripping & Uncomfortable
By Iggi_1 (113 reviews) , 24 Mar 2013First, if you are going to be upset or offended by a film that in part deals with paeodophilia, don't rent this. A well crafted film where all the characters are very real with their individual hang-ups, motivations and failings, excellent acting throughout. Not a film for those who favour Hollywood pap, but, if you like The Killing etc you'll like this.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Big Yawn?
By Mokky (10 reviews) , 19 Mar 2013Very disappointing, every character in it was pretty messed up, not just the crazy killer but also the detectives. Given that we know whodunnit in the first 5 minutes, the rest of what could have been a gripping well-told story turned out to be a real slow drag, with the usual caricatured waste-of-space out-of-his-depth guy running the CID team. The whole film seemed to be shot in a time warp - the original murder seemed more like 1966 than 1986, and the second murder from 2009 seemed more like 1989, or are parts of rural Germany still so backward? I almost expected to see the locals riding round in horses and carts!- Was this review helpful to you?
