reception
The cinema magazine Skip praised the "carefully put together, top-class actor ensemble" and described the film as a "fine treatise on the nature of love, its manifold manifestations and the inescapable power it has over us human sausages."
The ray film magazine rated the film as "a respectable and intense relationship drama, first class cast [...] only the episode in which Viktoria (Jana McKinnon) travels to Italy with her father (Devid Striesow) to meet his old aunt (Christine Ostermayer) To visit is a dialogical and staging masterpiece ... ".
The daily Die Presse wrote that the film remains vague in many ways: “What its characters ultimately want, what makes them happy, they don't seem to know themselves,” described the dialogues as “wooden” and judged: “What remains are constructed Connections, all-too-expectable twists and turns and an unspecified allusion to the overwhelming modern life, in which somehow nothing lasts and somehow everything is a bit difficult. So possibly. "
