Leave your thoughts about Yella.
| Film Comment MagazineChris DarkePetzold, a leading light of the current generation of young German filmmakers, succeeds in making the modern world strange again. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesStrikes a perfect balance between corporate intrigue and metaphysical mystery; his 2007 drama is filled with suspense but ends in delicious ambiguity. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperA suspenseful film carried off without the viewer knowing what the suspense is all about. ... The mystery happening in the margins of this story is more interesting than the mainline plot. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott Foundas[A] tightly controlled metaphysical horror movie. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThis is, in places, a deeply disturbing film... yet the touching scenes, when they come, have a surprisingly emotional depth. |
| Little White LiesJonas MilkA haunting suspense drama, which compares favourably with some of the best continental cinema. |

| Film4Steve WatsonA rich, inventive and atmospheric thriller that is somehow able to reveal the final twist while retaining its mysterious allure. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThis disquieting parable about trust and risk wrong-foots us at every turn. |
| Filmcritic.comChris CabinThe twist ending that softens the blow of this otherwise unique and atmospheric work is not for me to ruin, but it should be said that it shows a chink in the filmmaker's armor |
