| User ReviewSanja vGREAT MOVIE! GREAT ACTORS! EVERYTHING IS FUCKING GREAT! =) |
| User ReviewJosephine Ji really enoyed this movie and i still do... its wonderfull |
| User ReviewPrivate UAbsolutely a favourite! And it's German, yeah! I just adore those kids, Engel and Joe is so sweet, and they just keep messing everything up and messing with each other (but of course not always on purpose), when all they really want to do is just to be together and live happily ever after - rough world, living on the street, drug abuse and then of course the main theme: love. |
| User ReviewCaroline NThe same guy who did a lot of the work on the cult book Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo also worked on this movie. A lot of the same themes are touched upon: youth dealing with homelessness, drug abuse, and sex. Great German movie. |
| User ReviewJami LAs far as foreign language films go, I really enjoyed it. |
| User Reviewalice pbasically, the only thing I *didn't* like about this movie is the fact that they changed a lot of things from the original book, and left out the entire original ending. apart from that, great movie. =) |
| User ReviewSarah Ea really good film about a a complicated love between a girl and a street-kid-punk named Engel. They have to go through a lot situations that are not easy and have to deal with some serious life problems... |
| User ReviewJuja CJana Pallaske (I love your band but) is way too old to play a teenager girl. The relationship betwen her character and robert Stadlober's character (engel) wasn't honest for me, i didn't feel the conection ew |
