Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Fassbinder's visual style is the perfect match for this subject.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
A chilly, tough, wicked satire disguised as the sort of schmaltzy, black-and-white, 1950's melodrama.
– Vincent Canby,

rotten:
The situation soon freezes into an inert, rather facile metaphor for America's postwar domination of the German soul.
