There she meets Randy, who is lovesick because of Louise, who has come to Berlin but does not want to see him. Meanwhile, Max meets Donnie, suspects that he is the father of Paula's child, and beats him angrily because Donnie has allegedly lied to him. Rita and Randy skype with Max, she misses him and wants to know whether the smooching was more important, but not for him, because he still only thinks of Paula.

criticism

Programmkino.de: “Hardly half a year has passed since Malte Wirtz 's last film was released, when one of the most active German directors is already presenting a new work:“ Voll Rita! ”Is again a heavily improvised film that is often in terms of content and music reminds a little of Woody Allen and portrays the love and suffering of young people between Cologne and Berlin with corresponding ease. "

Filmdienst : “A light-handed, tongue-in-cheek relationship drama with a sparse plot that knows how to please despite some pretentious homage sequences with improvised dialogues and believable characters. Not bigger than life, but closer to life than you are used to from German big city comedies. "

Kino-Zeit.de: “The music of the Swingbop'ers, who opens the film with a piece that is reminiscent of Django Reinhardt, is the most lively . Paired with a lively montage of cell phone recordings of the main characters, comedies of similar nature from Woody Allen to Noah Baumbach jump into your head. Wirtz 'is also about the turmoil of relationships between stressed and haphazard city dwellers. "
