[Bye Bye Germany] displays too much polish and too little passion. the comedy and drama cancel each other out rather than collide in the energetic, provocative way that typifies the best of this tricky category; the result is curiously unmoving
with brilliant set design, the film recreates post-WWII Germany vividly, and lead actor Moritz Bleibtreu carries the film steadily with a solid performance, surrounded by a number of more or less fully-drawn supporting characters
