Bye Bye Germany's reviews
Media reviews
El País
"Moral reflection, film about confidence tricksters and romantic drama, all in one, 'Bye Bye Germany' has a pair of slips [...], but still insignificant in comparison to all its virtues"
Cinemanía
"In spite of its mundane and sofly extravagant vibes[...], 'Bye Bye Germany' explores a tricky topic: collaborationism in the field visits".
The Hollywood Reporter
The film at heart is an admiring salute to European Jews who chose to stay put, toughing out the painful reminders of the past to reclaim their violated patria. Their postwar lives have largely been overlooked onscreen in favor of their emigrant brethren, giving Bye Bye Germany a narrative freshness that outweighs its flaws.
Variety
"Decent performances and good intentions can?t compensate for a sense of airlessness, reinforced by the kind of ersatz period detailing that makes this costume drama feel so very costume-y."
Fotogramas
"The problem is Garbarski doesn't find the right balance between laugh and tears, and stays in an ambiguous field, such as ambiguous is the story of David Berman, its protagonist."
