3/4
A German thriller about rape and revenge keeps its cool, even if the characters occasionally don't. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 10/26/2020

09/13/2018 I was absolutely blown away by the film. I did not know what to expect going into the film, and I was impressed by the emotion and thought that was portrayed thoughout the movie.

Each scene was well played out, and I hope that this film is able to be viewed by a much larger audience See more Read all reviews
