Rimini

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A witheringly humorous look at family foibles, Rimini finds writer-director Ulrich Seidl dialing back his trademark misanthropy -- if only just slightly.

Justin Chang Los Angeles Times It’s worth your time, your discomfort, your possible scorn and your weirdly grudging affection, maybe all at once. Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com A blisteringly funny and often touching film about people struggling towards happiness despite having experienced lifetimes of disappointment. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times We know there’s great tragedy and ugliness behind the smoke and mirrors, but we watch in amusement nonetheless. Sinisterly, Seidl reminds us how easy it is to turn people into objects for the taking. Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Fedor Tot Vague Visages By dint of the fact that Rimini showcases such a vast gulf between performance and direction, Seidl’s return to fictional filmmaking is, if nothing else, hugely interesting. Nov 7, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily Having found his subject in Ricky Bravo and his perfect incarnation in Michael Thomas, [Ulrich Seidl] is content merely to stay with him, observing and recording his amiably unsuccessful life. Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo A film about decadence in a phantasmagoric world where racism is still present.

BM I love this director's raw and authentic interpretation of a not-so-glamorous society without any filters but showing it as it is—the humanity of the seniors of our society, which in the film industry often ignores. Sometimes cringing, but yet the reality is just like that. A beyond stellar interpretation of the main character. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review David Lee K De badplaats Rimini in de winter doet dienst als trieste achtergrond waartegen een oude smartlapzanger, Richie Bravo, op realistische wijze wordt neergezet. De man draait nergens zijn hand voor om en leeft zijn leven alsof het elk moment gedaan kan zijn. Hij zingt in zaaltjes van mistroostige hotels voor oudere vrouwen en probeert op schimmige wijze wat geld bij te verdienen. Wanneer hij onverwacht met zijn verleden geconfronteerd wordt, wordt hij verplicht om actie te ondernemen. Zijn spiraal naar beneden levert een aantal ontroerende beelden op. Ondertussen hangt Richie bij een aantal van de oudere dames ook nog de gigolo uit, wat enkele aandoenlijke scenes oplevert. Niet te missen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Andrew H H As with other Austrian/German films, it has a very clean appearance, stylistically which I love. Great, until the drunk scene, near the end. A bit long-winded and unnecessary, but the main character/actor does a fine job. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Eliane S It is a look behind the scenes of the sad world of an aging, washed-up former pop star. Just like the location of the action, wintry Rimini, is the protagonist: gray, cold and lonely. The explicit sex scenes are as raw as the film as a whole. The story with the daughter can be forgotten, but the rest is fascinating and repulsive at the same time. A film you don't love, but you won't forget so quickly either. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Lina N I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it was very hard to sit through. Mostly boring, depressing and awkward, but I'm curious so I white-knucled it. On the other, the last 5-10 minutes of the movie pieced up a weird metaphor for me - it felt like it was about the state in which Germany is in for the last 30 years, thanks to their constant guilt about the past. Sad and not pleasant, but maybe that was the idea. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not much of a story and very repetative and tedious. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
