07/01/2010 (** 1/2): Thumbs Down It starts out well enough, but I was left bored through most of the middle part of it. The cast is fine and story was interesting, it just seemed like the film should have been edited down more. A near-miss. See more 01/30/2009 To be fair I don't remember this movie very well. I do remember it dragging on though and while the acting is actually quite good I just never really got a sense of the loss the principal characters are supposed to feel. A good but somewhat wasted effort. See more 10/30/2008 This is a decent film set against the time Germany was divided by the Wall, but the romance part of the story was just a little bit too overly sentimental for my tastes. See more 04/16/2008 I was a bit disappointed by some of the parts left out of the plot (where did the French husband go again?), and the ending. Also, I felt that the actual Mauerfall, which is one of my favorite moments of German history, was not portrayed as well as in other films. I think one reason for this was the relative short timespan between the fall of the wall and the time it came out. For this reason, most Germans don't even know of the film. In fact, it's not even on the German Wikipedia, I'm writing a site for it right now. See more 03/04/2008 When I first saw it, I was so frustrated by the ending that I overlooked all the movie's really good points. But the more I think about it, the more I like it. It's definitely one of those movies that grows on you. I recommend it. See more 12/22/2007 bo-ring... horrible movie. See more Read all reviews
