Critic Reviews for The Einstein of Sex

All Critics (1) | Fresh (1)

  • "The Einstein of Sex" has the look of a poorly made television drama, but don't let that distract you. Praunheim tells an important story and he tells it well.

Audience Reviews for The Einstein of Sex

  • Jun 04, 2018
    The film's didacticism and lack of aesthetic refinement may push some viewers away, but Rosa von Praunheim doesn't care about that and is mainly interested in telling us the story of the man that was Magnus Hirschfeld and his importance for the LGBT rights movement, which he does.
