Buba

Wonderfully dark and quirky comedy. I highly recommend watching this in German (with subtitles) so you can appreciate the brilliance that is Bjarne Mädel. His Buba character was the best part about "how to sell drugs online" so I'm thrilled they gave this character it's own origin story movie.

IF you liked this, check out Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner) which was Mädel's most iconic role. Same director. But look for the German original, not the British remake.

Brilliantly absurd tragic comedy with two top German-speaking actors and character actors: Bjarne Mädel and Georg Friedrich, both of whom manage to play the rather one-dimensional and therefore unrealistic roles authentically. The references to fairy tales at the beginning and in the constellation of characters immediately show that this is not a profound character study, but rather an ironic, pointed, but thoroughly entertaining story. I think a problem for many when watching is that both the characters and the performance as a whole can hardly be pigeonholed and oscillates somewhere between modern fairy tale film and ironic trash tragic comedy. Considering this background, I would highly recommend it, even if I found the mother-daughter drama a bit superfluous because it didn't add much to the suspense or plot development.

I watched it for 51 minutes, then I just couldn't endure it any more. Too boring, too many repetitions.

The actors are great, the settings awesome, the costumes rock, but the story ... what is it? Who cares?

What do the characters want? Go to Disneyland? Well go or don't go, I couldn't care less.

None of it matters.

Funny moustaches and trashy track suites just aren't enough to keep me entertained.

The tempo is so slow, I thought it was a series, at fierst.

Its normal movie with light comedy, but the story is not reliable as some scene not understandable.

But generally you can watch the movie if you have extra time and nothing to do.

Loved it.

Usually (read not often) i do not tend to see movies in other then English or Dutch spoken movies... I liked this one. With the chapters and all it seamed like a Quinten Tarantino movie. Also had a great laugh at hilarious weard situations of this film.

It deserves the eight i gave. 🙌🏼
