If you allow yourself to become Toni Erdmann it might change the way you experience life. I felt the change by just watching him.
Slow and deliberate relationship between daughter and father. Has great moments, but doesn’t pull itself together too well.
Amazing. The cringe and the build-up are so exquisite. I'm happy that this film exists.
One of the best German commedies of all time, absurd, clever and with a lot of heart.
I won't say that it's a bad movie. Just didn't like how an idea like this executed that plain. Maybe that's the whole point and I miss it.
Intellectually speaking it’s a multilayered masterpiece. It is also a very tedious watch and I would like to never watch it again.
Haven't seen it since a long time but I ve still have some emotional memories about this movie. Bitter sweet absurd comedy.
Toni Erdmann is a strange and slow film. A unique work that I enjoyed watching. Often the viewer is left with a feeling of external shame.
German black comedy that has a good idea, but unfortunately the director has turned this dramatic idea into a wasted opportunity.
If someone's working too hard, you’re allowed to wreck their life in order to "save" them, apparently. I'd have filed a restraining order.
