Buba

This is a fabulous orgy of weird and wonderful characters in a bizarre tale that is tragic yet hypnotic. A unique idea told very well with some funny moments and great cinematography.

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.

If you haven't seen "How to sell drugs online (fast)", watch it first before you go for this nice little prequel. The series is quite amazing and sets the stage for the side character whose somewhat tragic story is told in "Buba".

Fans of Bjarne Mädel will probably like it. All others should be prepared for some dark humor, but the movie has also a bit of heart.

The characters are very odd and the story is completely ridiculous, in a good way.

The movie is full of great performances, and it's visually appealing, with good pace and editing.

Seems like Netflix does not disappoint when it comes to German productions. Non-Germans may give this one a try, but be sure to use subtitles.

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.

Compared to "How to sell drugs online fast" this prequel unfortunately doesn't really deliver. It misses a real story and why all this violence? Dark comedy okay but it's not adding anything and is offturning. Tatortreiniger was so much better.
