Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is, rather, another quite courageous attempt by Mr. Fassbinder to develop a film style free of the kind of realistic conventions that sentimentalize life's mysteries.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
Fassbinder uses dramatic and visual excess to push everyday events to extremes, achieving a degree of political and psychological truth not accessible through mere social realism.
– Nigel Floyd,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
fresh:
Technically flawless, deceptively simple and avoiding excesses, it is about problems that are timely and timeless in implications.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
26 Jun 2008
fresh:
This 1974 film stands as one of Fassbinder's sturdiest achievements, posed between the low-budget funkiness of his early features and the mannerism of his late period.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
25 May 2011
fresh:
Fassbinder's historicism is a crucial aspect of his modernism: he didn't just make use of prior forms, he quoted them, and derived from them the ironies implicit in his melodramatic styles.
