    6/10
    Not a great movie, but better than most out of German cinema.
    The film by Andreas Dresen, who by the way is also one of nine justices at the supreme court of the German state of Brandenburg, surprisingly does not focus on the legal, political or generally cultural matter involved. Instead, this work's main focus is a portrayal of the characters involved. This is done well thanks to good performances from Kaplan and Scheer. The film itself is thus reasonably enjoyable and quite light-hearted for the dark subject.

    6 Out of 10. Not spectacular, but easily better than anything involving Till Schweiger.
