The movie is at its best when you don't know which end is up, when you think you're laughing at this woman, and find yourself laughing with her.

What a beauty. Marianne SÃ¤gebrecht plays a blinder in this moving tale of a woman's drive to free herself from a drab existence and finding love on the U-bahn. Truly gripping.
