Critic Reviews

I don't claim to have seen every entry from around the world, but it's hard to imagine five better than this deliciously offbeat comedy, as wildly inventive as anything Billy Wilder ever conceived.Full Review

Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle

One of the most enjoyable movies I've seen lately, but it has a biting knowledge of that which history gives and history takes away. Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

This is a very funny picture, though it's never burlesqued and is, in fact, occasionally poignant.Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

A funny and intermittently sharp German satire that musters gentle nostalgia for East German communism while mocking the not-so-distant past.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Funny but not a comedy, serious but never overbearing, emotional in an engaging and bittersweet way, Good Bye, Lenin! is a wonderful film unto itself about a world unto itself.Full Review
