Our take

Thomas Arslan’s explorations of German migration shift to distant terrains in this neo-western. Starring the incomparable Nina Hoss as a woman of stoic determination, this Berlin School take on a classic genre sees even the crudest forms of movement and finance fraught with speculation and risk.
