criticism

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

“BEAT BEAT HEART is an improvised summer comedy about love and longing: A daughter who believes in love has been actively waiting for the return of her boyfriend for months when suddenly her - accidentally - newly separated mother moves in with her in a midlife crisis and herself - with the offer from extremely charmingly presented internet portals - rushing into new adventures. Little budget, but overwhelming energy and a really impressive, nimble direction from a director, from whom we will certainly see many films that are entertaining in the best sense of the word, and a great ensemble that deserves exactly this enthusiastic audience that we did at the premiere were allowed to experience. "

- From the jury's statement for the New German Cinema Promotion Prize / 34th Munich Film Festival 2016 : http://www.filmfest-muenchen.de/de/festival/preise-preistraeger/foerderpreis-neues-deutsches-kino-1/

“[…] The most interesting films in the New German Cinema section were made by women. Even the previously male German Mumblecore, which is characterized by small budgets and improvised dialogues, now has a new female representative in Luise Brinkmann. Your love film BEAT BEAT HEART elicits the charm of the unspent from its limited means, as we know it from the directors Axel Ranisch (Alki Alki) or Jakob Lass (Love Steaks).

“[…] This award-winning first work is a perfect example of young German cinema: clever, relaxed, spontaneous. With a relaxed camera and editing concept, improvised dialogues and overlapping conversations, Luise Brinkmann creates a small miracle and finally lets go of all stilted pretensions and all dusty pathos and packs in her place real feelings and the most realistic conversations that one has had since the early Dresen- Has seen films on a German screen. "

- From the program of the Film Festival Cologne : http://filmfestival.cologne/festivalreihen-2016/made-in-nrw/beat-beat-heart/

“[…] Maja, played by Christin Nichols, is a minor character but not a minor matter: She indicates a break with an ancient narrative convention. Desires, however, that women on the screen are exclusively passive beings exposed to the male gaze. Makes it clear that female storytelling is unfortunately still a niche view. "
