Reviews

“The makers of the film [...] tried to make the complicated topic understandable in the dialogues as casually as possible, but especially in the first third of the film, the high learning load acts as a severe brake on the pace. Because the adult education program does not stop at the already complex technology, the socio-political criticism of the data octopuses also needs to be packaged. "

“'Can only get better' is a depressing New Year's greeting, but you can't think of anything else about the crime scene from Saarbrücken. [...] It is time that this nonsense was over. "
