Woyzeck is, if possible, ever more mysterious by the time we reach the end than it is at the beginning.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Overview
Having fathered an illegitimate child with his lover, Marie, feckless soldier Franz Woyzeck takes odd jobs around his small town to provide some extra money for them. One job is volunteering for experiments conducted by a local doctor, who puts Woyzeck on a diet of peas. This serves to drive him close to madness, and the discovery that Marie is involved in an affair with the local drum major exacerbates the situation. Pushed too far, Woyzeck resorts to violence.

Handsomely mounting each scene, the director has trouble attaining any forward momentum, though he achieves some powerful moments while trying.
Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten
The film seems to have been barely directed--the camera setups are relentlessly banal.
