This is the movie Sebastian Schipper directed before he made Victoria.
It's about Hanna (Marie Bäumer) and Thomas (Milan Peschel), a young couple that just bought their own house that they have to renovate. After Thomas decides to invite his melancholic brother Friedrich (André Hennicke), who just got fired from his job as an architect, Hanna decides to invite her goddaughter, Augustine (Anna Brüggemann). Soon things go out of hand...
This is not a feel good movie. It made me feel really uncomfortable. I could predict what was going to happen pretty early, and that only furthered me feeling distressed by everything that was going on.
The acting was good, but for me the story wasn't as good and somehow not that believable for how they basically made a 180° turn in just a few days.
All in all a solid movie from Germany, but nothing awesome. I'm rating it 2.5 out of 5 stars, so just middle of the road.
Talking about middle of the road: Don't drink and drive (which they clearly do in one scene)!!!!!!
