»A true story and one of the strongest films in Hof ... for a long time the best German mountain film ... A Heimatfilm of the uncanny kind.«
Der Tagesspiegel
»A wondrously sober, yet catchy and never overdone drama about adaptation and individuality ... Great German-Swiss cinema, far removed from any social romanticism and the insipid Berlin School.«
filmecho
»An ambitious, above all stylistically interesting debut.«
