Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (The Princess and the Warrior) Reviews
Film Scouts
How do you follow up with one of the most kinetic films ever made? The obvious answer would be to slow things down, take a more introspective and less visceral approach. In short, do something different.

Potente proves her versatility as an actress here with a much more subdued character, but is still capable of delivering powerhouse emotional scenes

Philadelphia Weekly
It's a fascinating mix, even when the straight-faced melodrama clangs against such wicked, poker-faced absurdism.

Una película muy regular, después del sabor que nos dejó Corre Lola Corre.
| Original Score: 7/10
Kansas City Star
It's hard to think of another movie that satisfies in such unorthodox ways.
This is bravura filmmaking and a movie not to be missed.

Tykwer works hard to cover the emotional ground that he only hinted at in Lola. It's intriguing to watch his characters, because each is in the process of piecing together a broken human being.

Blends elements of romantic thriller, heist movie, and several other genres into something original and unexpected.

Oregonian
Once in a while a picture comes along that captures not just love, but romance in all its fear, yearning, fantasy, eroticism and unexpected epiphanies.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Isn't as playful and giddy as Run Lola Run, but ... it may stick to your ribs longer.
Every person's behavior, Tykwer demonstrates with a flourish, is ultimately a matter of chance.
