Reviews

Klaus Buchholz at thegap.at sums up the film: “Success in popular hits requires hard work and people with conviction. Pop star grants an extraordinary view of the self-presentation and working life of Marc Pircher ”.

Schlagerportal.com assesses the film positively: "Anyone who expects a party atmosphere like at a live concert by Marc Pircher is wrong, anyone who wants to see how it goes in the world of pop and folk music behind the scenes is exactly right".

The Waves Vienna Filmfest judges: “Neutral, but always close to the person, Marco Antoniazzi and Gregor Stadlober accompany the successful pop star [Marc Pircher] in the pursuit of his dream - neither laughing nor idealizing. As if by the way, they also reveal the controversial, ambivalent sides of the glittering world of hits and provide insights into the lucrative business with the ever-healthy facade. "
