David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Refreshingly, for once Cologne-born Daniel Bruhl isn't the prettiest boy in the room, but that doesn't mean he doesn't command the screen in director Achim von Borries' sumptuous examination of the follies of young love. May 7, 2020 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com a taut and exciting thriller that deserves a much bigger audience than it will ever receive. Rated: 4/5 Oct 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The thrill and drama is tasted from the first minute and Brühl, Diehl and Mühe do a really good job but it is somehow slow and the promise of the suspense is not completely delivered. It had potential but it was not totally well developed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Two friends from school head to the country house for a little R&R. Trouble in sues with a love triangle between a brother, a sister and a mutual friend. It's based on a true story. Well, played. Daniel Bruhl is wonderful actor. Enjoyed his performance very much. This is a film to make sure you see. I will forewarn you that this is a European film, so the content might surprise some people. Though, it is a wonderful film, a must see. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member great movies, great young german actor! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie, convincing acting Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Me gustó el hecho de que está basado en hechos reales, la actuación de Daniel Brohl fue muy buena, tambià (C)n la de la actriz que interpretó a Hilde pues incluso sentí que me caía super mal si conociera a alguien así. La película por ser un drama es algo intensa pero supongo que ese es el fin. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Love in Thoughts is a beautiful and yet tragic tale of a complicated love polygon.
