Roy J The acting and direction kept my attention even though there isn't much going on. I really liked it until the ending...the jerk protagonist doesn't deserve that ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Alec B Writers that hate themselves are almost as insufferable as those who think they are God's gift to humanity. There's a sadness to the movie that does make the main character slightly more tolerable. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Wolfgang G Roter Himmel ist ein Beziehungsdrama von Christian Petzold… Eine Gruppe von Freunden in einem Ferienhaus an der Ostsee, wo die Emotionen hochkochen, als der ausgetrocknete Wald um sie herum Feuer fängt… Eine künstlerische Krise und eine Schreibblockade lösen zwischenmenschliche Komplikationen aus… die eine Freundschaft auf die Probe stellt… eher eine stille melancholische Inszenierung mit einer brillanten schauspielerischen Leistung… Kurz gesagt, ein klasse Schauspiel mit sehr guten Darstellern… Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review helder f A story of two friends, Leon and Felix, who are spending their summer in a beach house. The goal is for Leon to finish his book and Felix to complete his portfolio for art school. The beach house belongs to Felix's family. Upon arriving, they realize that a friend of Felix's mother is staying there too, where she hosts Devid, a lifeguard. sometimes. The story has a nostalgic tone, carrying a child-like and idyllic atmosphere, while simultaneously being tense due to the relationships among the four, as well as the menace of the nearby wildfires. These two components are barely rewarding enough to sit through for almost 90 minutes in the movie, where most scenes feel more like still pictures than part of a narrative. The last segment of the movie is enervating due to its unnecessary melodramatic end. The movie's conclusion feels like an abrupt waking up from a sort of languid dream, betraying viewers who sat through the movie hoping for some kind of climax, some sort of apex. It feels juvenile and tasteless. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review X O Wow. Extremely well acted. I don't know how I got pulled on. It must have been how they spoke. The acting. So impressive. It's so interesting how giving Nadja is, not from love, just from her nature, with feeling, not just because of some new age trip. Leon is also really fucked up and needs to stop beating himself up, amd stop beating others up because of that. Nadja is very forgiving. To her strength. The editor is a bastard. He should have prioritised Leon and not leave him hanging. That isn't professional, at best. Worth a watch, as much as how the story unfolds as much as the conclusions. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Greg R This is lousy. And it's made worse by reading these reviews telling you to stick with it. The something that was to come just never arrives. It's just one long, drawn out, bore. About nothing. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
