Toni Erdmann Ratings & Reviews
Rowan Krzysiak
February 13, 2025
I paused this film briefly around the halfway mark. I still had about 1h 20m to go. Yes, this film is 2h 45m. At that point I was actually sad. Sad there wouldn't be more and even then I still didn't know what was to come. I could likely rank this as one of the best films I've seen. It serves up every emotion under the sun. It felt completely original. I would like to say more.

Nell Minow
Like the serious-minded daughter in the story, the audience's expectations are wonderfully challenged and satisfyingly upended by Toni Erdmann.
Bitch Media
Lee Jutton
Toni Erdmann is the fastest and funniest 164 minute film you'll ever see; [director Maren] Ade steers her story with a confident hand.
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann is a testament to the precision necessary for really good comedy, proving that fart jokes, sophisticated black humour and a profound sensitivity to broadly experienced human emotions can ... find perfect balance.

Toni Erdmann is a thing of rare beauty.

Sara Michelle Fetters
When Ade's opus works it admittedly does so with a level of precision and genius that's mesmerizing, making this a modern comedy of heartbreak, forgiveness and family deserving of multiple looks.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Toni Erdmann" has plenty to say about parenting, ambition, feminism and modern happiness, but not enough to justify its absurdly longwinded running time.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Hüller is amusingly discombobulated as the uptight Ines. But the film is perhaps best appreciated as a showcase for the gifted Simonischek, whose portrayal of Winfried/Toni is one for the ages.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Simonischek, all ruddy, playful bearishness, and the amazing Hüller allow themselves to sink deep within these two characters, and the end result is nothing short of unforgettable.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
At nearly three hours, "Toni Erdmann" is expansive but rarely self-indulgent, and the emotional payoff, when it comes, feels truly and bizarrely earned.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Funny, tender, outrageous - this unpredictable movie belongs in a category all its own.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
While I appreciate that the film contains multitudes -- and, yes, maybe even the spark of genius -- I must confess that I'm not fully down with the hype.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Sure enough, Andy Kaufman's prankster and premeditatedly abrasive second-self was the impetus behind this epic one-joke comedy from German writer-director Maren Ade.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Comedies are supposed to be short, but this German farce... succeeds by virtue of its endlessness-like its hero, an aging piano teacher and irrepressible joker, the movie keeps bugging you and bugging you until you can't help but laugh.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The movie is worth its sloggiest moments - and its frequently off-putting title character - for Hüller's fearless performance, which is a revelation of pathos, humor and keen, sharp-eyed focus.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The movie has a lot to say about the endless, free-floating bs women must contend with in a capitalistic patriarchy.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Toni Erdmann" is worth every minute of your time.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Toni Erdmann is an immensely rich, deeply-felt exploration of human relationships that draws you in and holds you fast for nearly three hours.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
That the movie works so well is also due to the exceptional talents of leads Simonischek and Huller, who hold nothing back - especially the former, whose Winfried is one of the oddest ducks in recent movies.
The Atlantic
David Sims
It's some new, evolved form of awkward comedy that doesn't strive to make the audience wince, but rather lives in every joyously strange, unsettling moment.
