A good movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for Barbet Schroeder's work and since this movie was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, I have always been wondering how the Germans of my age or younger are able to deal with the traumatic past of their country and, since this movie was exactly dealing with this subject, it was really intriguing to me. Furthermore, I really enjoyed the sweet and gentle relationship involving this young man and older woman and the 2 actors involved gave some solid performances. Still, it wasn't completely flawless though. Indeed, the first thing that bothered me was the fact that Martha was speaking English with such a very obvious German accent so it seemed rather unbelievable that all these other German characters wouldn't figure out right away that she was either German or at least that she spoke the language fluently. Concerning the directing, it was decent enough but one of the final scenes taking place in a supposedly amazing club in Ibiza was just downright pathetic and so poorly put together. Seriously, pretty much nothing worked in this scene but, fortunately, it didn't have a huge impact on the rest of the movie. Anyway, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was still pretty good and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Barbet Schroeder's work.

7/10
