Critic Reviews for The Harmonists
All Critics (36) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (29) | Rotten (7)
The movie is history as kitsch, not quite on the Life is Beautiful level of manipulation, but clumsy.
A glorious surprise.
Performances aside, the movie is dull and perfunctory.
The story of the Comedian Harmonists, who brought to the waning days of Weimar a bubbly frivolity, is a rich one. Rich enough to keep you watching and wanting to know more.
Only when we delve deeper into the material does it become apparent that the director has a more ambitious agenda, and that agenda makes The Harmonists a satisfying experience.
As director, Vilsmaier again has a firm grip on tone and pace.
