| Sight and SoundCatherine WheatleyA very welcome addition to the canon of radical-political biographies. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's an intelligent, complex, persuasive film... |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonFor a film about revolutionaries, this plays it far too safe. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanIf you already own The Baader Meinhof Complex and you're looking for the other half of the definitive Red Army Faction double-bill, here it is. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsA very, very solid, if a tad unadventurous, debut feature from Andres Veiel. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe film effectively conveys the way in which key events from the Sixties radicalised them both and propelled Gudrun into the arms of charismatic activist Andreas Baader. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe themes foment, yet never quite ferment into a convincing brew. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawHas the same slightly flavourless character as Uli Edel's 2008 film The Baader Meinhof Complex. |
| User ReviewTimothy AA tragic and moving film with great performances by August Diehl as Bernward Vesper and especially Lena Lauzemis as Gudrun Ensslin. Great score by Annette Focks. |
| User ReviewRichard SThe acting is pretty good, but if you are not particulary interested in the RAF, you're probably get bored. |
