Halliwell's Film Guide

An ambitious, slightly ponderous drama that aspires to be a portrait of a disconsolate generation. It is almost worth seeing for one extraordinary sequence of a skier in free-fall.

A Customer from Kent, 10th December, 2008

This film is absolutely amazing. It is visually stunning and is worth watching for the cinematography alone. The story line is great as well and really grips the viewer, and there are a few twists in the plot that keep you guessing, with it effectively being a thriller that also tells us about people in general. I think it is one of the best German films that I have ever seen, although I'm not sure how good the translation is. I highly recommend this film - one of my top 20!
