Reviews
The critics of TV Spielfilm gave the film the rating Tip of the Day , but at the same time criticized the fact that the film “tries to explain somewhat strikingly youthful media usage behavior to the TV audience”. The "facial expressiveness" of supporting actor Wilson Gonzales Ochsenknecht is "very limited".
"This intensely youthful, intensely media-critical, intensely pointing finger at the competition television thriller is a little unfortunate in an ARD theme week 'What do you believe in?' programmed. [...] What is really annoying about this 'crime scene': How little he really cares about his topic. How simple he draws his figures, how unimaginatively he strings together the most common clichés about click capitalism between beauty shopping and pranksterism. "
