Actually neat and overall a rock-solid film with numerous lengths. However, it can be argued what the added value of this production is. The story has so often been made into a film. Therefore, it would have been desirable if one had shown a little more courage with one's own accents. So it's "just" a solid drama with no strengths or weaknesses worth mentioning. The inner workings of Anne are badly shown. The actors Ulrich Noethen and Martina Gedeck are the best in the film.
