Vincent Canby New York Times Jul 6, 2015
Taking one step at a time, Mr. Fassbinder is exploring new methods of cinema narrative that are more original and daring than anything I've yet to see by film makers who call themselves avant-garde. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 6, 2015
If the premise suggests Nol Coward's Private Lives with an acrid dash of Pinter, Fassbinder is nothing if not winkingly in command of this brittle theatrical idiom. Go to Full Review
Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine Jul 6, 2015
3.5/4
A rigorous extrapolation of deception as a survival tactic, and a vicious indictment of victimhood, martyrdom and the games people will play in order to destroy one other. Go to Full Review
David Parkinson Radio Times Jul 6, 2015
3/5
Unfortunately, [Fassbinder's] cynical detachment leaves us appalled but unmoved. Go to Full Review

Luke M Aug 10, 2018 Ein Kammerspiel. Sehr bizarr. Sehr kalt und verstoerend. Die Message kam fuer mich nicht rueber.
Finn R Jul 9, 2018 Typical Fassbinder offering with his usual actors occupying the director's unique universe. No other filmmaker has been skilled or audacious enough to use Bergman's brooding affectations as a launching point to create an entirely original way of portraying human desperation and misery. A genius of an acquired taste. See more
