Well acted, scored and paced, and striking a careful balance between social realism and hip street thriller.

A grainy piece of Berlin realism by Detlev Buck which follows a 15-year-old boy caught between a rock and a hard place.

A matter-of-fact socio-realist style and some strong central performances making this a shocking German drama.

Done no favours by its camera-phone aesthetic, Tough Enough doesn’t have much of a sell-by date.

A tragic cycle, persuasively rendered in a movie that’s neatly achieved, if small in scale.

The inevitably brutal denouement provides a satisfactory close to a smartly observed and exhilarating movie.

Director Detlev Buck may be well versed in comedies but he manages to pull off a neat little drama thanks to some credible performances.

Engaging, impressively directed and ultimately disturbing teen drama with a strong central performance from David Kross.

Detached, muted colours, a swirling soundtrack and a well-tuned script lend polish to the grimy urban location.

Uses the familiar with enough flair and technical swagger to make it exciting all over again.

An assured, uncompromising and often tense piece of social commentary on Germany's "invisible" multi-ethnic underclasses.
