Reviews
“Especially the second part after the end of the war is a small masterpiece: The quarrel between the two mothers, the closeness of friendship and enmity, the inner turmoil of the child and the growing anti-Semitism are horribly perfectly staged. This is a tough, brutal film to digest. In view of the brown wave that is currently sweeping across Germany, we'd better not grant the Holocaust and anti-Semitism a limitation period. We wish the film a large audience. "
“You can tell by looking at Dmitri Astrakhan's film both its age and its production conditions. The colors of the copy are already slightly faded, the tone tinny. Other than that, the film has a cheap television aesthetic. [...] As a Jewish mother, the German television actress Anja Kling often reaches the limits of her expression, and the other roles are sometimes played woodenly. Astrakhan is often too cautious and telegenic, so that every now and then you think you're in a Czech fairy tale film. [...] But it speaks for the quality of the story and the script that these omissions do not diminish the power of the film. "
