    I may be a cold war media enthusiast but I am also a contrarian which means that I had never before seen this very popular film! was surprised by its soft moments, its greek tragedy structure and the script’s low hum of humour. some all-time great 80s east german faces too, somehow sourced in the mid-00s.

    spent large chunks of this trying to figure out if he had a chest tattoo of the radiohead handshake figures but it turns out it was just two skeletons. if this had a cinema release I would bet on annie getting a golden globe nomination

    going by the sobs in the cinema and conversations w pals outside I know this is going to be an outside opinion….but I did not like this, and at times I was actively angry at it!!

    apart from weekend I love andrew haigh’s film and tv work. I think he’s great at genuinely emotive human relationship dramas and his stuff always looks gorgeous. I was shocked at how flat the characters were here, how heavy handed and bad the script…
