Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This melodramatic fable of emotional extremes is sharp and precise-nowhere more than in Fassbinder's attention to the price of domestic comforts and industrial necessities.

rotten:
It excludes all life that is not within the very narrow intentions of its author. Its pores have been painted over.

fresh:
Here is a movie about characters who define themselves by their sexuality, but the movie doesn't. It takes the sexuality as a given, and defines them by their values and morals.

fresh:
This 1975 melodrama by Rainer Werner Fassbinder is one of his better middle-period films.
