Are these really the only options? How about just taking a nap? No? Kidding aside though, the movie is quite politically motivated ... extreme measures, extreme cautions and how to dive into the mindset of people who have gone the deep end ... something that unfortunately with the pandemic we get to experience every day. No matter where we live in the world.

But current things aside, the movie is about right and ... left. To have a somewhat coherent movie, things are simplified .. unfortunately as I already said ... this is not far removed from the truth. We almost have to apologize to all the movies we thought were too far removed from the truth, because no one would act that way ... surely that can't be reality ... someone so easily manipulated ... ah we were naive and not the characters in the movies it turns out.

I am not for violence (or fighting it with violence),the movie may see things a bit differently. You may agree with me, the movie or even have another opinion. You still may be able to enjoy this or be entertained if not thrilled by what you see. Just be on the "right" side of things in the real world if you can ...

Well performed and directed story of a young woman rebelling against her conservative parents (perhaps unconsciously),trying to find belonging in a group and falling in love with an antihero. Although it's good that the film doesn't try to explain things, it still lacks depth and relatability (as compared to classics such as "Baader-Meinhof-Complex" for example) and has an ambiguous ending that could be read as a call to arms...not sure why this became Germany's entry for the Oscars, the direction is indeed "youthful" but not particularly innovative.

"Von Heinz adopts the go-to means of faux-realistic style, a restive, close-quarters invasiveness often culminates with a close-up on Emde's inscrutable mien, but what makes her tick, the essential question in every viewer's mind, proves to be elusive. Von Heinz attempts to let the actions speak for themselves, but what she presents is a laborious imbroglio consisting of a series of loud confrontations. Since it is told exclusively from Luisa's perspective, scarce information can be gleaned about the Antifa organization and their internal rift, feminism, immigrants and queer identity are only tokenized, while the plot plods through Luisa's correlations with two fellow members Alfa (Saavedra) and Lenor (Schneider). She is sexually attracted by the golden boy Alfa, which may explain why she falls in line with his reckless bravado, but what is the rationale behind Luisa's aggressive radicalism? Her well-to-do family background is alluded to, yet, nothing satisfactory is elucidated by von Heinz, maybe it is just a young girl's impressionable phase of growing pains, but that is a craven nihilistic evasion."
