criticism

Hannes Stein wrote in Die Welt that the film was about the “love between two brothers” who “stood by each other through defeat and collapse and became world champions through a strange mixture of brotherhood and tenacious persistence”. You don't have to "love boxing to enjoy this film, which lasts almost two hours and yet remains entertaining".

Sophie Albers wrote in Stern that director Dehnhardt had succeeded in creating an "impressive piece of sports history" that mainly tells about people. The images in the film are "sometimes very factual, sometimes pathetic, sometimes emotionally nostalgic, getting everything out of the biographies".

Awards

The film won a Romy for best documentary (cinema) in 2012 .
