Rising High

David Kross has grown and matured from the Reader so much that he can now play the role of the German "Wolf of Wall Street" :-) A bittersweet story about a little big con man, his friend, equally cunning wife, and about the dirt that capitalism offers us. A very good German movie. (2021-10-28)

Are currently the best you can find in today’s German cinema. Unfortunately, it’s not that great to see them in a film with such an extremely unpleasant premise. Conning ordinary people is something any low degenerate can do, and making films about it is not much fun, no matter how hard the Germans tried to make it look otherwise. (2020-04-27)
