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

Reviews for Tough Enough
1 - 11 (sorted by fresh rating)
Uses the familiar with enough flair and technical swagger to make it exciting all over again.
08/25/07
A grainy piece of Berlin realism by Detlev Buck which follows a 15-year-old boy caught between a rock and a hard place.
09/21/07
Detached, muted colours, a swirling soundtrack and a well-tuned script lend polish to the grimy urban location.
09/18/07
Engaging, impressively directed and ultimately disturbing teen drama with a strong central performance from David Kross.
09/20/07
Director Detlev Buck may be well versed in comedies but he manages to pull off a neat little drama thanks to some credible performances.
09/21/07
The inevitably brutal denouement provides a satisfactory close to a smartly observed and exhilarating movie.
09/21/07
A matter-of-fact socio-realist style and some strong central performances making this a shocking German drama.
09/21/07
Well acted, scored and paced, and striking a careful balance between social realism and hip street thriller.
09/21/07
A tragic cycle, persuasively rendered in a movie that’s neatly achieved, if small in scale.
09/21/07
Done no favours by its camera-phone aesthetic, Tough Enough doesn’t have much of a sell-by date.
