The summer of 1990 is hot in the countryside of Thuringia, in former East Germany. Maria is about to turn 19, lives with her boyfriend, Johannes, on his parents' farm, and would rather lose herself in books than focus on graduating. With German reunification, there is a sense of a new era dawning as Maria bumps into Henner, the farmer next door. One touch is all it takes to ignite an all-consuming passion between Maria and the headstrong, charismatic man twice her age. In an atmosphere buzzing with possibilities, love is born: a secret passion full of longing and desire that devours everything in its path.

It’s less about all the nudity (though there certainly is plenty of that) and more about how Maria uses her sexual experiences to determine the direction she wants her life to go in.

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

German reunification forms the backdrop to Someday We’ll Tell Each Other Everything, Emily Atef’s swooning but uneven romance drama.

Rated: 2.5/5

Fable-like, literary, long and luscious.

Atef earns tragedy in her slow-burning tale while also leaning into other authors including Lawrence and E.L. James.

Rated: 7/10

The film’s biggest frustration is the absence of anything innately alarming. Shot by Armin Dierolf (A Piece of Sky, 2022), the film is well stocked in beautiful visual palettes, but ultimately doesn’t have much to say.

Rated: 2/5
