Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine 04/29/2016
Thomsen's is a confused, partial, awkwardly constructed tribute that is an interesting addition to the mass of commentary on Fassbinder. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 04/28/2016
There is no film-by-film analysis of his major works, which include "The Marriage of Maria Braun" and "Berlin Alexanderplatz," or the connection from one to the next. Go to Full Review Melissa Anderson Village Voice 04/26/2016
Thomsen culls wisely from Fassbinder's filmography to illustrate the kino-giant's abiding themes, patricide and masochism among them. Go to Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News 02/15/2018
To be fair, [Director Christian Braad Thomsen] makes judicious use of clips from Fassbinder's films, but "Fassbinder: To Love Without Demands" would be far less fascinating without the 1978 Fassbinder interview. Go to Full Review Rafael Paz Butaca Ancha 12/28/2017
... it is a good first step for those who do not know anything about Fassbinder and his work. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luke Goodsell 4:3 05/01/2016

10/26/2017 Fassbinder truly is a name in cinema weather you like his body of work or not...a really driving force in the New German Cinema. The film focuses on key productions & his rapid fire approach to production both on stage & in the film format. This film presents how daring & audacious he was & has propelled me to look deeper into his works..a must see for those wanting to delve into his cinematic world. See more Read all reviews
