reception
Christian Klosz found on film plus criticism that the film would offer very nice entertainment in places, but overall it would be too good and too "ironed out" and too discouraged at the crucial points to be remembered for longer after viewing.
In reference to the Ibiza affair that became known in May 2019 , Franco Schedl wrote on film.at about an extremely current Austrian-Russian scenario. Compared to Ocean's 8 , this culture clash comedy in the form of a heist movie with a Russian-Austrian team is clearly preferable to the strong women. The rapidly told story scores with fast cuts, funny animation scenes in the style of the Monty Pythons and a score that perfectly underlines the plot. The story would also sound credible because Elena Tikhonova knows exactly what she's talking about.
Alexandra Seibel found in the daily newspaper Kurier that these Austrian clothes should be happy about a Strache effect, the comedy offense of which suddenly touches reality. However, she lacks “sharp puns, dramaturgical finesse and visual speed” to upgrade herself to accurate satire. Slapstick would get stuck in upright slapstick.
Alexandra Seitz describes Kaviar in epd Film as "an uncanny example that reality can still turn out much more grotesque than a film whose script piles absurd upon absurd from beginning to end." The coarse humor is sometimes exhausting and silly, but the carefree ingenuity with which Tikhonova creates absurd exaggerations and distributes them equally on all sides is always enjoyable. "Another highlight of the comedy is an unleashed Georg Friedrich in the role of windy Klaus; if ever someone embodied" Russian "- which in Viennese means something like: sloppy, provisional and botched - it would be him."
