criticism

“The real main role [but] is played by Kurt Böwe, who 'steps into' this Ezekiel van der Straaten, 'fills it in' and lets it shine from within. He gives it graciously and maliciously, lets him be jovial and kind and provocative through his personalities, lets him dance gracefully and turn and turn despite stable abundance. Böwe shows a person with all his light and dark sides. This, his character lives like no other! "

- New time

"Langhoff's sequence of images corresponds in beautiful correspondence to Fontane's narrative, the changing moods, psychological constellations and ironic refractions."

- Berliner Zeitung

The lexicon of international films writes that Melanie van der Straaten is an ambitious film adaptation of the first great women's novel in literary history.
