Reviews

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

“A wild mixture of trash and serious youth drama, of overdrawn pop (sub) culture, comics, sex and music. The numerous, colorfully thrown together elements give Lollipop Monster its very own charm and unmistakable signature. "

“Ziska Riemann's debut shows the friendship of two radical self-seekers with violent, flashy comic and video clip borrowings. Drastically and sometimes quite crazy - but always more interesting and truer than all high school comedies. "
