Movies Watched -- Toni Erdmann (2016)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In German. 162 minute running time which means it was over an hour too long … sweet Jesus, whom do I have to blame for recommending this one?!? Kooky German Dad and uptight businesswoman daughter, I threw in the towel after 20 minutes, who could possibly have found this interesting or entertaining? Who cares about Sandra Hüller’s droopy tits? Oh the mainstream critics are going to go wild for this one, but I beg you not to see it….

Adam Graham is right: “… its beats are repetitive and its message belabored”

Dick Brody nails it: “… a personal story that remains as schematic and impersonal as a position paper … The mystery of the film is why … Ines doesn’t say something like ‘Dad, stop; you’ve caused enough trouble already.’”

There’s the cheese grater
