Critiques (2)
The film is very good, the way it's shot makes it all more believable, but I still couldn't bring myself to like it. Of course, the theme isn't about being likable; it's about its weight, but it was precisely that form that prevented me from identifying with the characters. Maybe because of how realistic it is.

A devastating film about death and dying, overwhelming not because it is dark, hopeless, offensive, but because it is full of subtle humor, naturalness, and moderation. Andreas Dresen is undoubtedly a genius, as his latest film was made using the controlled improvisation method and is more authentic and intimate than any documentary about dying. From my point of view, this is probably the most impressive film about the last human things I've ever seen. A sensitively filmed catharsis that brings back to the eyes what today's surface-obsessed consumer society so desperately avoids. A kind film that shies away from nothing about the end, which, in my eyes, this year nothing can overcome.
