Reviews
"The failure of the rule of law in investigations, the hushing up and destruction of files, all that which acts as a shock to the public to this day, should have been given more space in this reverberant and very successful film."
“But all sorts of reasons could be justified this way. But don't apologize for a long time. For 90 minutes, the focus here is on a woman who just doesn't belong there. Desire, urge and challenge: Here it would have been the greater achievement not to give in to them. "
