Reviews
Marcus Stiglegger wrote on ikonenmagazin.de that the film was part of the " Trilogy of Solitude " that Amos Kollek and Anna Levine, who appeared under the name Anna Thomson , had made about life in New York City . He was inspired by the film noir genre as well as the " New York scene films by Paul Morrissey " and John Cassavetes . The film seems “ unbalanced and stylistically difficult to grasp ”. The “ rough and at the same time profound sensitivity ” of the earlier films in the trilogy is only visible in places.
Kulturinfo.ch wrote that the film was a “ moving and at times bizarre journey ” that shows that there is always hope and hidden opportunities. It is important to " fight for your dreams and goals ".
The magazine TV direkt 15/2007 wrote that the film was a “ poetic-realistic portrait of a woman ”.
“The fate of women in a gloomy way is the conclusion of a trilogy about women in New York, in which Amos Kollek sheds a little light on his gloomy worldview. Despite the again convincing leading actress, the film does not achieve the disturbing density of the two earlier films 'Sue', 1997; 'Fiona', 1998. The painful, melancholy portrait loses its credibility as it comes to a head. "
background
