Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By James Mottram (656) for South China Morning Post (665) on 28 Feb 2017

Ade, in only her third film as director, blends familial drama, comedy of embarrassment and a social critique of sexism in the workplace into…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Ernesto Diezmartinez (236) for Cine Vértigo (222) on 27 Feb 2017

A film that everyone has praised so much but the way to get there is long…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 27 Feb 2017

Simonischek is delightful all through the film but it's at that birthday party, with its ultimate recognition of what her life has become,…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Luis Fernando Galván (195) for En Filme (289) on 24 Feb 2017

A delicious criticism about the meaninglessness of modern life, the distance and the coldness that exists in a father-daughter relationship…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 24 Feb 2017

For such a nutty, funny film, Toni Erdmann is painfully wise about the generation gap between parents and children, and how hard it is to bridge…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 24 Feb 2017

Toni Erdmann has plenty to say about parenting, ambition, feminism and modern happiness, but not enough to justify its absurdly longwinded…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Peg Aloi (89) for Arts Fuse (166) on 24 Feb 2017

I did not find the film overly long; it is fascinating to watch the narrative unfold, driven as it is by the low-key antics of its main characters…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for The ARTery (128) on 23 Feb 2017

Ade favors unobtrusive camerawork and doesn't punch up the jokes with excessive cutting or music cues, leaving the audience to find our own…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 23 Feb 2017

Hollywood will simplify it to that big concept, and trim writer-director Maren Ade’s flaccid storytelling and many aimless scenes into something…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Eric Melin (822) for Pitch.com (53) on 23 Feb 2017

A tragi-comedy, yes. It's also beautiful and unique - art of a high order…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 20 Feb 2017

The movie endorses rapprochement over antagonism and reconciliation over alienation as it builds to a climactic confrontation in which the…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Al Alexander (533) for The Patriot Ledger (721) on 18 Feb 2017

Life's too short; stop and smell the roses. That's the central premise behind the anointed Toni Erdmann. Simple, right…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Brad Keefe (343) for Columbus Alive (355) on 17 Feb 2017

Toni Erdmann doesn't just defy the expectation that a comedy has to be short and punchy. It also shows that it can have rich, well-acted characters…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By John Urbancich (394) for Your Movies (cleveland.com) (472) on 17 Feb 2017

Don't let its length make you avoid 'Toni Erdmann' (as it did me -- on two occasions -- at the 41st Toronto International Film Festival)…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Edward Johnson-Ott (361) for NUVO Newsweekly (453) on 17 Feb 2017

The bottom line is that Toni Erdmann works because of its excess, not in spite of it. Don't wait for the Hollywood version, see the original…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Charles Ealy (164) for Austin American-Statesman (501) on 16 Feb 2017

The movie climaxes with a party that can be described as nuts. And it's best not to say too much about it here…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 16 Feb 2017

A wildly hilarious, crazily off-kilter and touchingly honest story of a father-daughter relationship that's both modern and timeless…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Calvin Wilson (480) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 16 Feb 2017

The film is perhaps best appreciated as a showcase for the gifted Simonischek, whose portrayal of Winfried/Toni is one for the ages…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 16 Feb 2017

This pleasantly rambling absurdist father/daughter drama is also one of the most strikingly unusual films of the year, period…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 16 Feb 2017

Drop the extra hour and it's little more than a concept comedy…
