criticism

filmdienst.de writes:

"Poor entertainment against the background of plan fulfillment and youth brigades"

In the Berliner Zeitung , HUE remarked:

“The very strange village pub, the love story poorly glued to the plot and confidently half of the cabaret shows could have been spared the audience and the footage gained could have been used to deepen the characters. But the fresh, natural tone of the whole thing reconciles with such lengths and weaknesses: you can tell that this film was not only made for young people, but also by young people. "
