A particularly German film with at times astonishingly vivid sex scenes that seem out of place in a mainstream picture. A few cuts could well have ensured a much better film, however the scenes with Markus and his partner's son Johannes are sublime. There's a fair bit of ambiguity (who is really influencing who) but I found this a plus rather than a negative; a lot is down to the sheer quality of the script and production values. Hollywood this isn't. I thoroughly recommend it.

Oh boy, where should I even start? Unconvincing characters, really bad acting, bad character development, and an incredible badly written story! The way they portrait the "friendship" between the guy and the boy is utterly not plausible too, no kid his age would hang out with a creep like that guy! He's got nothing that kids would consider cool, he's just a creep who can't keep his finger to himself. Don't waste your time with this movie, it just isn't good!
