Paul Attanasio Washington Post The men are variously cads, heels, frauds and egoists... the women are enlightened spiritual beings who communicate with meaningful glances (and garrulous glancers they are). Jan 3, 2018 Full Review Molly Haskell Vogue [Margarethe von Trotta's] finest and most dramatically complex film. Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Liz Galst Sojourner How many more accolades can I heap on [Margarethe] von Trotta, the greatest of the great German directors? Sep 4, 2019 Full Review Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) Although the characters don't reach the complexity that is expected of Margarethe von Trotta, it doesn't affect the careful mise-en-scène that is characteristic in the filmography of this director. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 5/5 Jun 30, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A nuanced drama exploring the values of friendship between women Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This film portrays the struggle of two different women, an artist and a college professor, in a society filled with madness, distance and suicide. Sheer Madness is a build up to an unexpected dramatic finale. However, it is slow and very often distant and hard to follow. The cinematography by Michael Balhaus is wonderful, building a nightmarish and alienated atmosphere, and Schygulla is great as usual. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
