Reviews
“Group therapy on the former German-German transit route: 'Taxi to Leipzig' is an exciting and yet effortless bow to the first 'Tatort' from 1970, which bore the same title. [...] Sure, a bit of recognition is a must on such a day. So: Congratulations, you guys! "
"Alexander Adolph [...] has staged an exciting, sometimes bizarre, intimate play from the situation in the car, accommodated some love greetings to Quentin Tarantino and a few inevitable wolves. And if you watch both films with the title 'Taxi to Leipzig' within a few days, it becomes very clear that not everything just got worse over the years. "
