Our take

A decade after achieving Oscar® glory with The Lives of Others, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck revisited Germany’s postwar history. Loosely inspired by the life of artist Gerhard Richter, this moving intergenerational epic is anchored by marvelous performances from Tom Schilling and Paula Beer.
