Critic Reviews for Das Versprechen (The Promise)
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (2)
Director Margarethe von Trotta effortlessly weaves history and personal events into a tapestry full of emotion and irony.
It becomes too fuzzy when it tries to explain in 115 minutes the history of modern Germany.
Shattering film about loss.
Although it has many a tragic scene, the ultimate message made me feel like I had just heard Beethoven's Ode to Joy being sung - very uplifting.
Audience Reviews for Das Versprechen (The Promise)
This is a decent film set against the time Germany was divided by the Wall, but the romance part of the story was just a little bit too overly sentimental for my tastes.
Super Reviewer
