Reviews
The critics of the Lexicon of International Films judge: "A light-handed comedy that tells a sometimes very naive story with a lot of sympathy for the characters, without burdening itself with deeper intentions or" ideologies "; a comedy with no consequences, typically in the traditional two-way relationship ends. " - Lexicon of International Films (CD-ROM edition), Systhema, Munich 1997
At Kino.de they judge this "unusually charming comedy: [...] The director lovingly draws his characters, who appear sympathetic, and makes them so human because of their weaknesses. With brisk dialogues he lets them fight the little sex battles that seem to have been taken from life and that will decide the ongoing war between man and woman at best privately. An amusing cabinet piece that will also do a brilliant job in video stores. "
The criticism at Poenack.de is somewhat cautious. There it says: “'Alone among women' suffers, like so many German films, above all from the fact that too much is talked and too little is 'shown'. Nevertheless: He's not annoying because some people are drawn nicely and from time to time even funny situation comics are provided. "
