Reviews
“The Brownian Movement is not one of the conventional love dramas about an emotionally repressed family mother who leads a sexual double life. The character portrait, filmed in concentrated plan scenes, studies the surface of a deeply withdrawn personality without ever penetrating it. Sandra Hüller's subtle portrayal gives the ambivalent work a frosty sheen. "
"Sex in the depths of space: in the Dutch film" Brownian Movement ", a doctor commits adultery with ugly and hairy men in artistically lit rooms. A study about architecture and desire, which becomes an event through the lead actress Sandra Hüller. "
