reception
Kino.de praises the film for “strong actors” and a “fabulous ensemble”. Andreas R. Becker from Filmstarts.de , on the other hand, complains that the literature is poorly implemented and the dialogues are artificial and the film is therefore boring, but praises Barbara Auer's acting. Peter Luley from Spiegel considers the four constellation to be artificial and, like Andreas R. Becker, speaks of “pseudo-philosophically intertwined dialogues”. He sees the appeal of the film in the “excellent” acting performance of Jessica Schwarz and “impressive pictures”. FAZ reviewer Jochen Hieber writes about the film: “Theo Bierkens' camera lets the relational quartet act with and against each other in noble interiors, places the figures in cool city panoramas and lost landscapes. Even if there is far too much cello on the soundtrack, “Der Liebeswunsch” is a passable film. But he downsizes the novel. "
