Herbig directs every scene with an overcranked mania, accompanied by a blaring Zimmer-esque score that thinks it's part of the buildup to a Navy Seals assault on an Indian Ocean pirate ship. Jun 14, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Balloon is a very commercially-minded film, straight-forward in the telling and conventional in execution. Oct 21, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The spectacular story on which the film is based... allows Michael Herbig, its director, to bet on a more risky visual style, but it's also the main reason why the work ends up falteringin other equally relevant aspects. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

German writer/director Michael "Bully" Herbig has not completely abandoned his comedy roots, though, and creates a cosy-looking period story that is both funny and thrilling. Jun 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
