Reviews for Four Minutes
A riveting film that defies every expectation, Four Minutes is German Cinema at its most potent and provocative
Unfortunately, after almost two hours the gloom becomes monotonous and the one-dimensional characters wear out their welcome.
By dint of strong perfs (especially from relative newcomer Hannah Herzsprung) and powerful use of music, the pic works in spite of itself.
