The dialogue sounds like it came out of an R-rated fortune cookie.

Lotta sound and fury, but not much signifying. 

Rehmeier cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor.

Herzi boldly resists the impulse to deliver a thematically easy scene.

Feels like lukewarm leftovers.

While Ripstein’s satirical approach lends an appealing bassline, his format fails to capture the victory’s emotional resonance.

An old-fashioned high-school flick about friendship, but one that has new ideas.

A thoughtful science fiction movie about humanity’s place in the universe, and a lot of other things besides.
