Shocking story, amazing film!
8 November 2011
Before I went to see this film on film festival "Free Zone" at Belgrade, I knew pretty much nothing about Baader-Meinhof Group. The synopsis sounded rather interesting and I had free evening - so why not? I was really surprised. I don't know how true to events this film is, but it is really effective. I left cinema open mouthed and that means that film done it's job well. Acting is believable and story is easy to follow even for someone who, like me, doesn't know anything about events. It's shocking story but obviously important and I after seeing the film I really got interested in subject.

All in all, I have only good things to say about this film and as for the story itself, I suggest you to watch it all yourself.

Perfect! - But only if you haven't read the book
21 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I read the book long time ago - 1 or 2 years ago I think - but I rent this movie before month. I was really looking forward to seeing it, especially I forgot all about book. But, even I that forgot all, saw it was changed from book.

Like first, whole think with Lena and Kostas was changed! They families argued on end and where are all those scenes in hill by lake? It's all moved to the dock. Thats stupid, since hill would make it look more romantic. I think Alexis done fine job in Lena's role, I liked her, but I didn't like guy who played Kostas - although his acting is fin he should be more attractive. And where is Lena's little sister???

Brigit wasn't so proud or quick. Although it's OK all with her scenes and actress that plays her is really good, I think people who hasn't read the book might not see what happened between her and Eric.

Carmen was great in acting, but most of people hasn't seen her so fat. Her lines and moves were close to book, girls didn't went with her on her father's wedding.

Tibby was best played and her story is closes to book. I loved girl who played Baily - she's so cute! And you really DO see change in Tibby on end of film! Tibby's my favorite character in book, and so does go with film. Too bad they didn't put her hamster in film too.

Things I liked about movie are simple: I liked acting in main roles - Alexis, Amber, America and Blake did great job, they really look like care-free 15-year-old girl. I liked emotions. I liked friendship between the girls! I liked Baily! I liked pants! Even if movie doesn't follow book, it is good, it makes you really think about girls. It's really warm movie and it does show connection between the girls and pants.
