Featured review
One room, four people- an intimate play (Kammerspiel)
... about stereotypes, prejudice, selective perception, (mis)interpretation and racism from everyone to everyone.
I love many different kinds of film. And I didn't read or see anything about this one before watching. So i had no expectations at all.
For me it was an emotional roller coaster from start to end. The acting, the script, even the simple setting were perfect. Of course you need to appreciate much dialogue. This movie uses words, and words only, to make you feel. There are no crime, no action scenes or the like at all. It doesn't need it!
Maybe some negative- reviewers don't get this movie and it's clear statement, because they didn't watch it till the end?!
To those who felt repulsed or annoyed by who- or whatever: try to get through these uncomfortable feelings open-minded, because:
YOU NEED TO WATCH IT TILL THE END TO FULLY UNDERSTAND!
By the way to dislike a well played annoying character doesn't make the play/ movie bad. Maybe on the contrary: isn't it a possibility to reflect?!
And to those who felt nothing but bored: i feel sorry for your lack of empathy!
