Berlin Alexanderplatz Reviews
Cultured Vultures
Redmond Bacon
Burhan Qurbani's Berlin Alexanderplatz breathes fresh air into the classic tale with his diverse, topically relevant remake.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Potent stuff, and Burhan Qurbani, working with co-screenwriter Martin Behnke, marry a novelistic structure with the high-octane energy of cinema.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Exhausting and exhilarating, these desperate characters re-birthed from the Weimar Republic novel and Europe's colonies won't stop dreaming, and can't be forgotten.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
Berlin Alexanderplatz falls somewhere in the mediocre middle.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
Beautiful and atmospheric but essentially empty and pointless, Berlin Alexanderplatz hits you with the bluntness of a sledgehammer.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
[Qurbani]'s "Berlin Alexanderplatz" is a nice place to visit but you might not want to live there for three hours.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
A heavy-handed re-imagining.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The episodic, sometimes almost soap-operatic nature of Qurbani's storytelling sacrifices a great deal of thematic depth for a great deal of eventing instead.
Critically Acclaimed Podcast
Witney Seibold
The epic crime tale reduced to a mere three hours leaves a lot to be desired.
San Francisco Bay Times
Gary M. Kramer
Berlin Alexanderplatz crackles because Welket Bungué is magnetic in the central role.
In Review Online
Patrick Preziosi
Instead of building to any sort of climax to justify its three-hour runtime, Berlin Alexanderplatz spins out into infinity, confusing circuity for world-building.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
The basic story remains a long, cruel downward slide of degradations and injustices. But Qurbani lends it considerable style and energy, his updated cautionary fable further made palatable by lead Bungue's charisma...
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
The new Berlin Alexanderplatz is worth seeing and at times is moving. The director clearly wants to encourage social debate. But the film squanders opportunities and fails to place its finger on the wound.
Film Inquiry
Lee Jutton
There is much to admire about Qurbani's ambitious reimagining of Berlin Alexanderplatz, but despite some strong performances and visual flair, I'm not entirely convinced Franz Biberkopf should have ever left the Weimar Republic.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
It's almost as if the movie has adopted Francis' mantra; it keeps promising to be good before collapsing into formless decadence, losing itself and possibly an audience along with it.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
American director John Huston once said you should never remake a great film, it only sets you up for disappointing reception. That hold true here.
Film Inquiry
Wilson Kwong
Berlin Alexanderplatz is a grand and ambitious film that has a great start but simply loses its narrative focus by trying to juggle a few too many things. It's an unfortunate letdown given the narrative's very apparent potential.
