Buba

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.

This movie excells at presenting charming trash characters and offers a unique premise and overall presentation that is both depressingly bleak and at the same time very colourful and goofy. Especially the two brothers are wellcasted and played, some smaller roles are lacking though. For a movie like this, I feel like the music could have been more vibrant and attention grabbing. I imagine some punk bands would fit well, which is a rare opportunity for a movie.

Anyway, the biggest flaw of the movie is the lack of a overall drive/motivation. Yes, technically there is motivation for every scene, but it's just not a lot. The side plot actually has more power than the main plot. This is especially the case in the second act where the movie drags a bit.

Overall this was a nice experience simply because it was refreshing, but it won't be a movie that is going to reach cult status or any big numbers.

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.

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. 🙌🏼

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.
