An absorbing melodramatic look at a cynical unhealthy power dynamic between women. Feels like watching a play and its elegantly shot.
A stylistically perfect theatrical setting. Good performances & interesting dialogues.
A movie overstuffed with subtext, but still enthralling on a surface level, It sort of demands to be seen multiple times. A masterpiece.
Basically a play disguised as a movie. Which is what it is basically. Every frame looks like a painting. An experience like no other.
Unique film, interesting characters, story progresses like a play 6ish long scenes. Set and cinematography are dreamlike & add to story.
On paper an intriguing character study of one’s inner demons over a long period of time, but Fassbinder has made more engaging films.
no title in the history of movies has been more appropriate for its film than this one. do what you will with this information
Character study of egocentric Petra in 5 scenes in one room with a cast of 5 other women. Feels like live theatre with the long takes. Wow.
Cult classic of the hurt women hurting each other variety, & a technical masterpiece.
A play-like film about women in love and pain. Great dialogues and photography and a stunning ending
