criticism
The film service sees a “film without dramatic climaxes, which gently dabs moods, situations and anecdotes and demonstrates a sense of punch lines and the right timing. Due to the lack of suspense, lengths and slacks also become clear, so that there is nothing more than an entertaining test of talent. "
