Reviews
The film was broadcast in primetime on Sunday evening. It reached 7.84 million viewers and was showered with praise by the critics. There was talk of a "masterpiece of television entertainment", a "masterpiece of manipulation", a "shocking psychological drama", a film "without weak points" that "will be remembered for a long time", of "grandiose atmospheric density" and images, that "burn like acid in the brain". That was the tenor of most of the reviews.
In the FUNK-KORRESPONDENZ it was said: “'Hurenglück' is certainly not the television event of the year, but a product of remarkable artistic logic. Very often we don't get that on TV. ”“ An incredibly powerful piece between a nerve-racking thriller and tragedy, ”wrote Ponkie in the AZ. The taz headlined: “A definition of tragedy” and continued: “A strong piece. And we can watch. At 8:15 p.m. Without ulterior motives from the sociology of old age, neither instructive nor amusing: unbelievable but true. "
In the Südkurier from Konstanz it was written: “It has not been a long time since a television film was so authentic, so grippingly emotional, so profoundly brutal and human at the same time. Just entertainment? Much more."
And in the Stuttgarter Nachrichten it was said: Director Rönfeldt "seems to have found his style: After the much-praised ' Kupferfalle ' ', his second 90-minute oeuvre is about a woman who remains trapped. With' Hurenglück ', rare things succeeded : What almost sounded like a dime novel turned out to be the exact psychogram of violence. "
Awards
The film was nominated in 1992 for the Bavarian TV Prize and the Adolf Grimme Prize .
