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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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