criticism
"The independent film works relentlessly and provocatively on images of masculinity and sexism , but does not bring its topic to an end consistently enough in the context of a father-son story." ( Filmdienst )
While Gunda Bartels from Tagesspiegel described the film as “gender satire” long before it was finished, in memory of the director's previous two films Bye Bye Berlusconi! and Short Cut to Hollywood expected black humor again and Stahlberg had possible critics defamed in advance as "skeptics", Oliver Kaever moved to Zeit Online more than two years later and after publication under the title Fikken! Fuck! Fuck! other conclusions: “Unfortunately it is just misogynous .” Stahlberg's Fikkefuchs is regrettably “not a serious contribution to the debate, but primarily cinematic masturbation”. One of the “many problems of this film” would be to pretend “to make fun of images of masculinity”, instead the “ hubris of the filmmaker”, a “maudlin form of male self-pity”, is used over the lost “sovereignty of interpretation and defloration” and a " woman to shudder" presented. It is "ultimately about defeating". The women are "projection surfaces, not people". According to Kaever, it is not the pictures that the viewer gets to see that are “disgusting”, but the image of women. In addition, it is "a poor, tearful and self-righteous image of men that Fikkefuchs" cemented.
