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). Go to Full Review Molly Haskell Vogue 02/26/2020

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] Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/30/2005

12/26/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
