Leave your thoughts about Schultze Gets the Blues.
| NewsdayJohn AndersonA rough-cut wonder, a movie that evolves from Teutonic inertia into a deadpan polka, a bouquet of edelweiss tossed into the melting pot. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe writer and director, Michael Schorr, is making his first film, but has the confidence and simplicity of someone who has been making films forever. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA delightfully deadpan comedy from Germany, is one of those movies where nothing whatsoever seems to happen until you look closely, at which point everything happens. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorMichael Schorr's delightfully deadpan comedy debut blew away the German box office, and once you let yourself sink into its gentle rhythms, as slow and deliberate as those of its protagonist and inflected with tiny but significant shifts of pace and tone, you'll see why. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA charming oddity...a gently rib-tickling, genuinely warm-hearted jewel. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAn uncommonly good-natured and simple film, bearing no malice, holding no agenda, desiring no undue attention. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanWriter-director Michael Schorr's story moves with remarkable sloth. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferLike the films of Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismäki, Schultze Gets the Blues uses dry humor to extract laughs out of mundane situations. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesCharm, culture, and dry humor make it worth a look |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA meandering story of a German everyman who has little to show for his life until he wins a trip to the American Bayou. |
