I've described the style of the film in some detail because it is so hypnotic and eventually so comic. May 9, 2005 | Rating: 4/5

There's less plot than usual, but the portraiture already seems firmly in place. Nov 19, 2002 | Full Review…

Shot in just over a week and provides the writer-director with a larger collection of personalities to send careening against each other. Sep 9, 2013 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

That's what Katzelmacher is: a punishment, via art, leveled at all the ignorant, egotistical racists Fassbinder had known. Sep 4, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It doesn't reach the level of despair of some of Fassbinder's other works, but the artistry is unquestionable. Sep 24, 2002 | Rating: 4/5

Christopher Null
One of Fassbinder's first films is this cynical story that, even though not remarkable, was already an early indication of his talent as a filmmaker - something visible in the way he combines the naturalistic style of the Nouvelle Vague with a detached, Brechtian mode of acting.
Super Reviewer
Fassbinder is clearly much more comfortable here as he deals with xenophobia and repression.
