criticism
In the lexicon of international film it is said that the film is a "provocatively arbitrary [...] flood of images and sound material" and series "episode after episode". Overall, the film "loses itself on the surface of what is all too familiar".
Frank Noack writes in the Berlinale 2002 magazine , after having dealt with a few incorrect drawings in the Dietrich reception, probably rightly that a film cannot go into everything in detail and sums up J. David Riva, who incidentally is invisible himself remains, did an excellent job.
