Though deliberately paced and somewhat repetitive, it's...powerful and enlightening.

The suffering of these Berlin women, however tragic, is decontextualized from the infinitely greater crimes against humanity's millions by Germany at the time, which in fact was responsible for their fate.
September 24, 2009
The film is well-acted, with restraint, by Hoss and Sidikhin. The writer and director, Max Faerberboeck, employs a level gaze and avoids for the most part artificial sentimentality. The physical production is convincing.

This sobering account of such tragic events deserves kudos for avoiding sensationalizing a subject matter that easily could be exploited.
August 21, 2009
Sometimes a movie based on true events is forceful out of all proportion to its middling presentation.
London Evening Standard

An honourable effort to illustrate a period in post-war German history that remained conveniently shrouded for years.
November 06, 2009
A clear-eyed portrait of a highly charged chapter in Germany's history, a history that once again proves rewarding fodder for an alert artistic imagination.
December 04, 2009
It's a rigorous adaptation, handsomely mounted and with fine performances, but totally impersonal.
August 07, 2009
[A] brutal, unforgettable film.
October 09, 2009
That rarest of wartime dramas: an intimate, sorrowful glimpse into the heart and loins of the hellish aftermath of war.

No one is guiltless-not the Russian commander (Yevgeny Sidikhin) who takes the heroine as his lover, nor her bourgeois landlady (Fassbinder alumnus Irm Hermann), who welcomes the occupiers for their black market goods.

Though the story is based in truth, an emotionally removed Hoss feels more like a symbol than an actual person, while her detached narration keeps us at further remove.
