reception

Reviews

“Director Glasner himself calls his 'police call' a 'film about a handful of people who are too sensitive for this world.' That is a nice paraphrase for the tender beginning of the thriller, but a negligent generalization for the rowdy second part, where topics such as self-optimization, consumer society, growth dictates are called. "

- Christian Buß : Spiegel Online

“But with the crime thriller, democracy does n't die in the dark anyway. Glasner uses the form to tell an end-time shocker in which reason does not drive in the yellow jersey of the overall leader, but strangely clumped feelings are at the wheel. [...] This film does not want to be a social analysis. Rather: a lascivious speculative depiction of solely emotion-based political actions. "

- Matthias Dell : The time
