The final installment in Ulrich Seidl's Paradise trilogy, 'Paradise: Hope' tells the story of overweight thirteen-year-old Melanie and her first love. While her mother travels to Kenya ('Paradise: Love') and her aunt does missionary work ('Paradise: Faith'), Melanie spends her summer vacation at a strict diet camp for overweight adolescents. Between physical education and nutrition counseling, pillow fights and her first cigarette, Melanie falls in love with the camp director, a doctor forty years her senior. As the doctor struggles with the guilty nature of his desire, Melanie had imagined her paradise differently.
Leave your thoughts about Paradise: Hope.
| RogerEbert.comSteven BooneWhen Melanie falls under the spell of a silver-haired pedophile as tall and trim as a Marine (Joseph Lorenz), the film gets set on its rocky path to a conclusion that fulfills the film's title and rounds out the "Paradise" series quite beautifully — if you're not afraid to look. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenInstead of being contemptuous and sardonic, the portrait of inchoate adolescent longing in Paradise: Hope is poignant. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangWe can't help but feel that by comparison with the meaty and compelling issues he takes on so fearlessly, so scabrously in the other entries, Paradise: Hope ends up somewhat toothless. |
| EmpireSimon CrookTying up his trilogy in style, Seidl's film unsettles and provokes with wit and composure. |
| Total FilmTom DawsonAgainst the odds this is a sometimes droll and surprisingly tender affair, and a fitting end to Seidl’s magnum opus. |
| The DissolveSam AdamsParadise: Hope quickly rights itself and becomes lighter, looser, and more sympathetically observed than anything Seidl has done previously, ending a grim trilogy on a brighter note than expected. |
| Movie MezzanineAnna TatarskaSeidl is one of the masters of "happy-sad" storytelling. This time, however, his world lacks structural and emotional clarity. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThis tale of a creepy pedophilic relationship is the most tender, nuanced, and deeply felt picture Seidl has ever made. What’s more, there’s no need to have seen the other two films, as Hope works beautifully all by its lonesome. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasSeidl has made an insightful film that’s more about the trials of a young woman’s coming of age than about being overweight. |
| Little White LiesAdam WoodwardWith this sublime trilogy under his belt, Seidl must surely be considered one of Austrian cinema's great auteurs. |
