Ostalgie of the worst kind
A movie whose amateurish production is only undercut by its underlying ideology. Making such a high-caliber cast look so weak is an art in itself. Due to the almost non-existent narrative structure, the one-dimensional characters and the incredibly simplistic world view, the movie drags on painfully and after 30 minutes it feels like you've already spent two hours. The supposed moral superiority of the protagonists is imposed so forcefully that it becomes unbearable at some point.
If you are into Ostalgie and self-pity and consider the socialism of the former GDR to be the superior political system, this movie is a good choice. For the rest, rather not.
