A clear-eyed portrait of a highly charged chapter in Germany's history, a history that once again proves rewarding fodder for an alert artistic imagination.

No one is guiltless-not the Russian commander (Yevgeny Sidikhin) who takes the heroine as his lover, nor her bourgeois landlady (Fassbinder alumnus Irm Hermann), who welcomes the occupiers for their black market goods.
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
Fresh
The film is well-acted, with restraint, by Hoss and Sidikhin. The writer and director, Max Faerberboeck, employs a level gaze and avoids for the most part artificial sentimentality. The physical production is convincing.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
Sometimes a movie based on true events is forceful out of all proportion to its middling presentation.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

[A] brutal, unforgettable film.
