Beautiful last half hour. It's a shame that half an hour wasn't cut out. It would have been a lot smoother and sharper.

3.5*

While Goodbye Lenin mainly focuses on the differences between East and West in Germany and the fall of the wall, this film shows the tension during the period just before the building of the Berlin Wall. Germany that has come under a regime that is not much better than under Hitler. No freedom, minimum justice, and above all enormous censorship in the field of culture. The tensions between East and West have an impact on daily life.

The film uses a love story as a framework, although fortunately the script contains more than that. The tension increases, especially as we get closer to the construction of the wall. And since everything in the GDR has its consequences, you are always curious about what will happen next and who will be involved.

Nicely acted and an entertaining script. Although it lacks something to completely immerse you. But it is certainly fascinating and especially those who are interested in it will enjoy it immensely. A forgotten gem...

Romantic drama set against the backdrop of the tense relationship between East German youth and the repressive authorities in the months and weeks leading up to the construction of the Berlin Wall. A nice coming-of-age story, but one that doesn't quite get off the ground. I don't find the ending very satisfying.
