“…so appalling, so grotesque, so well made and bravely acted that dare I suggest you give this serial-killer movie a watch? Shame on you, Fatih Akin, for making it. Shame on me for putting it on this Top Ten list. Shame on you if you like it.” – John Waters (director of Pink Flamingos and Hairspray)

4.5/5 Stars! “in that niche bubble of brilliant filmmaking and uncomfortable, harrowing viewing experience…If you can stomach the more extreme offerings of cinema, one that happens to be based on a nasty figure in German history, then I urge you to seek this one out.” (Bloody Disgusting)

Grade: A-! “Tough and gruesome” (Consequence of Sound)

“game-changing performance by Jonas Dassler…It’s a movie for those with a strong constitution; it’s expertly made” (Cineuropa)
