Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
What is new for a Fassbinder work is that the film is far more entertaining to watch than it is interesting to speculate about. That means it's a disappointment.

fresh:
It has a wicked sense of humor, displayed in Fassbinder's two favorite opposites, understatement and hyperbole.

rotten:
The meanings are banal and the pace is heavy, but Fassbinder's use of color -- as throughout his late period -- is superb.
