Enjoyable moody coming of age character movie about a woman who on the outside if brash and provocative but on the inside is still a little girl who desperately wants to be loved. It's a movie about loneliness, forgiving and self-belief. The backdrop feels slightly rebellious, almost throwback to the Germany I suspect the writer grew up in. Feminists might complaint is that this movie lacks a feminine touch, clearly a story and character written by a man about a woman. But I like the clean-cut nature of that, as a female this doesn't offend me. Great locations and costumes. It makes for a good foreign language watch as it's light on dialogue but heavy on atmosphere.
