Leave your thoughts about Karl Marx City.
| NPRElla TaylorAs much an inquiry into the mechanics of how autocratic regimes work as it is a search for the truth about one citizen's tragic end in its clutches. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelRegardless, Karl Marx City offers an absolutely fascinating look into lives of relatively average German Democratic Republic citizens and documents how the communist system continues to generate karma for everyone it touched. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillKarl Marx City is a documentary that reminds us just how close and recent one of the most oppressive regimes was the western world. |
| NOW TorontoSusan G. ColeEpperlein wields her microphone as if it were a weapon for revenge. And she and co-director Michael Tucker shoot in black-and-white, which lends the film a sense of authenticity and strange beauty. |
| National ReviewArmond White[A] fascinating and exasperating film ... |
| Gay City NewsSteve EricksonThe beauty of [Michael] Tucker's cinematography speaks for itself, but it was also shot to be able to integrate well with archival footage, also filmed in black and white. |
