criticism
Overall, Tannöd's criticism was not convinced. In a “grandiose”, “masterful” introduction, Oberli creates an ominous atmosphere, but then the quality drops. According to taz , the director and her cameraman produced “atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere. Lots of threatening and urgent things are packed into the pictures. ”The dramatic construction was criticized. There is no normal thriller tension (Cinema), “the dramaturgy is missing for a real thriller” (taz).
"" Everyone involved, from the director to the actors, is up to the task of turning a strangely transverse text, which, as they say, has hit a nerve, into a mainstream piece of quality cinema, with craftsmanship and artistic passion approached. Most of the time. Unfortunately, this task was unsolvable from the start. What should have been a revivre of Heimat as horror, only the traces of mutually intersecting genres and concepts remain. ""
