reception
In her review for Tagesspiegel, Christiane Peitz describes the film as a highlight of the Panorama program: “America as a provincial show, as a microcosm. Maybe not just America, but the western capitalist world in general. We have fun to death, and most of them have a hard time making ends meet. 'A film about us, about how we live, about schadenfreude and voyeurism, poverty and dreams, humanity and capital,' says 45-year-old director Bastian Günther, who commutes between Berlin and Austin in Texas. Günther gives the humiliated and those who have lost their prosperity back their dignity by bringing out the human tragedy behind the initially so harmless and at best weird-looking scenery. "
