Jörg Schöning from Spiegel Online also praises Heino Ferch and Samuel Finzi for their game and emphasizes the vacuum left by the unexplained death of Lang's first wife and which the film “cleverly only circles around”. In addition, nobody “handles the integration of historical film material so confidently like Gordian Maugg. "
