Good Bye Lenin! Reviews |
The most unlikely movie success of the year, "Good Bye, Lenin!" has so many internal contradictions that it's a wonder it holds together at all. But director Wolfgang Becker, employing a light yet firm touch that lends a unifying tone to the film's disparate elements, would not have made such an audacious movie if this little German comedy hadn't gone after such a range of game.

-- (L.A. Daily News)
It is not a step-by-step chronicle of German reunification, but it gives a perspective of the time. It's a bonus that this comes as part of an engrossing and well told story. Good Bye, Lenin! is unquestionably worth the price of admission. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
The film never gets bogged down in the politics of the situation, dwelling instead on the personal ramifications of national upheaval. ... Good bye, Lenin! is a sweet, enjoyable comedy with dramatic elements. [read review]
--Anne Rieman (Hollywood.com)
In spite of its title, "Goodbye Lenin" is not a film that tries to depict the last days of the communist regime. It is a film which tries to depict how the later days of the communist regime should have been. [read review] 
--Rafael Wambier (FilmJerk.com)
"Goodbye, Lenin!" is a comedy, but a peculiar one. Peculiar, because it never quite addresses the self-deception which causes Christiane to support the communist regime in the first place. [read review]
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Well-acted, and occasionally moving comedy-drama, but it cant really sustain its premise over the two hour running time. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
This brilliant, funny, touching and subtle comedy is a delight that grows the further one goes into it. [read review] 9/10
--Avril Carruthers (Movie-Vault.com)
A brilliantly constructed, touching but unsentimental look at the last days of East Germany. [read review] 85/100
--Jamie Gillies (Apollo Guide)
