Review of Toni Erdmann (2016) by 4Dbookcase — 08 Mar 2017
Two hours and 42 minutes of my life I shall never get back. Sheer boredom mixed with confusion. This is not some quirky classic you will love. Just a student film hyped beyond all reason. The dad likes practical chokes and has no sense of socially appropriate behavior.
The daughter is a soulless business consultant. I have no idea why this was nominated for an Oscar. I hoped the last act would tie the whole film together. It did not. The actors work hard but to no avail.
It is not clever. It is not quirky. It is not a "slow burn". An utter waste of time.
