Critic Reviews

Filmed in a leisurely, understated style, this dark comedy is downright entrancing. A spectacular directorial debut.

This deadpan ode to living life to its fullest could be the ultimate crowd-pleaser at this year's PIFF.

The writer and director, Michael Schorr, is making his first film, but has the confidence and simplicity of someone who has been making films forever.

A delightfully deadpan comedy from Germany, is one of those movies where nothing whatsoever seems to happen until you look closely, at which point everything happens.

It's the warmest, most generous portrait of American hospitality you've seen from a European movie in some time.

Michael Schorr's delightfully deadpan comedy debut blew away the German box office, and once you let yourself sink into its gentle rhythms, as slow and deliberate as those of its protagonist and inflected with tiny but significant shifts of pace and tone, you'll see why.

A sweet and charming treat.

Like the blues, you feel it first, and think of the meaning later.

A droll, deadpan film, deliberately paced and told.

Small but charming film.
