reception
Age rating

Reviews
The film was able to convince 65 percent of the critics at Rotten Tomatoes (from 111 critics in total, as of September 9, 2016).
Bettina Peulecke from NDR Info calls the film a rousing, fast-paced techno thriller that hits a zeitgeist nerve in times when virtual pocket monsters are hunted around the world . Even if other directors would have staged the film in a more socially critical manner, according to Peulecke, it is about social brutality and irresponsibility in the protection of anonymity on the Internet , which are the big issues of our time.
Anke Westphal from the Berliner Zeitung thinks that the film is essentially about a highly topical illusion in which people believe they are actors in their lives , even though they are guided by others in their thoughts and actions. According to Westphal, the film conveys this insight in an extremely exciting way and also extends it to the meta-level of social constitution.
Barbara Schweizerhof from the taz says the film criticizes online games and the mob structure of social media , and that these are presented as drug variants from the perspective of the film . Schweizerhof explains the visual integration of these media in the film: “The social media comments displayed at the edge of the picture suddenly show Vee as the center of a 'conversation', aerial photos of New York at night with colored light-emitting 'pins' mark the locations of the players and make the city appear as a playing field to be conquered, and the constantly increasing 'Watcher' numbers also displayed at the edge convey the feeling of power of popularity . "
From the German Film and Media Review received Nerve the predicate particularly valuable . The reason says: “The visual implementation of Internet communication becomes a style-defining staging principle that works with graphic markings, inserts and display reversal. The film is framed very conclusively from a dramaturgical point of view, even if the end may be a bit too forgiving. "

In Germany, the film landed at number 1 in the cinema charts and recorded 179,496 visitors over the weekend. In total, the film has so far recorded 738,400 visitors in German cinemas. The film's worldwide grossing is currently $ 83.7 million.
