criticism
“Matthias Bundschuh [miming] a very tentative-hesitant Erich Kästner, which brings with it a rather one-sided image of the author. The jovial charisma, the warm-heartedness that emanated from Kästner ... remains completely by the wayside. Lisa Wagner, as Kästner's partner Luiselotte Enderle, also plays her part so pale and expressionless that the fictional parts of this biographical approach leave the viewer completely cold. "
