Audience Member Successful both as a commentary about political manipulation, and as bleak story on grief, Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven is one of Fassbinder's most satisfying films (particularly the European version that features the tragic ending). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Has pacing issues in the middle, but the viewer's patience is rewarded with two cracking endings. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Ultimately sad film about media manipulation and the selfishness inherent in politics. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member As the tag line reads, this film was banned from the Berlin Film Festival in 1975, and I know exactly why. It's what you call a 'bleak comedy'. But the emotion that it carries throughout the whole movie is disturbing, yet riveting. I first watched this movie not knowing any synopsis of it at all and when it was over, my jaw literally dropped to the floor. Foreign films can be quite moving. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ach ja, der Rainer Werner konnte schon Filme machen. Interessant erzählt, gut gespielt und eigentlich so ziemlich gegen Alles und Jeden hat Fassbinder auch mit diesen Film bewiesen, dass man ihn einfach in keine Schublade stecken kann. Besonders angetan war ich vom alternativen Ende, das eigentliche Ende ist zwar auch in Ordnung, ist aber schon ziemlich absurd wenn man mich fragt. 3,5/5 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member La disfrute mucho, me encanto.
