Or I C - I reckon you get, but still no pun intended as always. And I would argue some might not be able to see. Even I am torn to be quite honest. The movies strong sides can also be called weak or questioned.

So are you up for a lot of teasing? Are you ok to make up a lot of the stuff up yourself? I wanted to check if this is based on a real story - so if the director was bound to tell certain things the way she did.

Whatever her reasons and motivations were - you can tell that our main character struggles. And it is the family dynamics (that are really drawn very nicely) that further that. Now what does she really feel? There are questions - but isn't that what many feel themselves? Unless you have a real big ego or self esteem. The line can be thin I reckon - not everyone who believes in certain qualities in themselves is full of themselves.

What would you answer is special about yourself? The English title does not do the movie or its themes justice I'd say. But you be the judge - the executioners (actors) really do their job - slow pacing and all included.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The family genre features stories specifically created to be suitable for a wide range of age groups within a family. Family-oriented content is designed to be enjoyed by both children and adults, often providing entertainment that is wholesome, relatable, and appropriate for all members of a family to watch or experience together.
