criticism
The editors of the film-dienst judge that the film is “a drama that is situated between the milieu and youth study, which gives away an interesting topic in flat dialogues and exaggerated theatricality, but above all in the squint at the grand gesture and the cliché of youth Rebellion suffers ” .
"On the whole," Polly Blue Eyes "is a delightful crime comedy whose [sic!] Small flaws are compensated for by her humor" . judged filmreporter.de.
Björn Helbig von Filmstarts is of the opinion that “Polly Blue Eyes” is an indecisive film that sways back and forth between comedy, crook, social portrait, drama, love story and pure slapstick, without showing any interest in its characters and thus showing its potential given away in several ways " . Helbig awarded 1.5 out of 5 possible points.
“With his cheeky staging, director Tomy Wigand ensures all-round thieving pleasure with newcomer Susanne Bormann and shooting star Matthias Schweighöfer,” is the verdict of kino.de. The portrayal of Ulrich Noethen and Meret Becker is "hilarious" .
The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
