Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The care that Akin expends on his people is skimped in the structure of his screenplay.
– Stanley Kauffmann,
The New Republic,
29 Jun 2008
fresh:
The Edge of Heaven explores topics as varied as the tensions that accompany multiculturalism and globalization to the simpler human drama of how individuals cope with losses for which they bear a portion of the responsibility.

fresh:
Loneliness, loss and capricious love guide the fortunes of three families in this powerful, beautifully realized drama by German-Turkish writer/director Fatih Akin.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
8 Aug 2008
fresh:
Propelled by the beautiful camerawork and scenery that moves back and forth between pastoral idyll and urban chaos as it takes the viewer on a journey that ends with a final image as quiet and beautiful as any in recent cinema.
– Tom Maurstad,
Dallas Morning News,

fresh:
