What to Know

Critics Consensus

Victoria's single-take production is undeniably impressive, but it's also an effective drama in its own right -- and one that juggles its tonal shifts as deftly as its technical complexities.

4/5
Schipper and his young team may not be up there with Hitchcock but they tell a good story. When it comes to pain, these kids cut to the chase. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) 04/03/2016
5/5
More than a technical prodigy, Victoria is an authentic piece of cinematic magic. Go to Full Review Lisa Mullen Sight & Sound 03/31/2016
Bolstered by an atmospheric score by Nils Frahm and masterful performances by its young leads... the result is a lively and engrossing exercise in creative swagger. Go to Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages 08/01/2023
Victoria manages to pulse with lasting energy, displaying just how incredible, devastating, thrilling and painful even two hours of life, spent really living, can be. Go to Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media 01/25/2022
4/5
Filmed in one shot, this low-budget German crime drama is an unexpected triumph. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 03/04/2021
3.5/5
Schipper's technique, shooting the entire movie in one continuous shot, over dozens of locations without the aid of special effects or CGI (or an editor, I guess), is flashy and eye grabbing, but more importantly lends a sense of immediacy to the story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tim O @RtuSire Feb 10 Appreciate that this is a single take movie but seriously I couldn't see anything most of the time. there are some terrible camera angles it's very dark. And generally I find the protagonist in the main characters were pretty daft. See more Wolfgang S @RT76250153 Nov 9 Victoria captures Berlin’s multicultural pulse in a single, breathless take—blending kinetic action with lived-in chemistry, crisp dialogue and clear character arcs. By shifting seamlessly between English, German and Spanish, it invites the audience to connect with the characters without losing momentum. If there’s a go-to blueprint for multilingual storytelling on film, this is it. See more Andrew S @RT18421042 Jul 16 This was a phenomenal film. From start to finish it kept me hooked. Brilliant acting from everyone. Superb directing and beautiful and emotional scenes. A masterpiece of film making. See more Eye C @ECinc 05/06/2025 Wow, what a rush! It's a story so overwhelming and really stressing. Young people acting poorly and doing stupid things, it's an spiral of bad decisions, but well done written. Great movie. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd 11/26/2024 This movie is awful to and if this was made in the Hollywood at least it would have been watchable. As usual Europium made movies lack of pragmatism and more than 2/3 of its running time just waste to point at single shot and edifices etc... See more S R @ScottR 03/28/2024 1001 movies to see before you die (added later). This movie touched on so many issues: youth aimlessness, youth failures, EU crime, EU police, EU workforce, raves, EU prisons, organized crime. All in a shaky camera format made it a little odd, but more real, like we were along for the crazy ride. The whole time I was worried about the girl, but I guess she did alright. The police reaction at the end seemed a bit over the top and too fast, but then again i've never been part of it. Were the morals good? No. But I guess they don't need to be. RUS.
