“Lush, irreverent…distinguished by the spotlight it throws on Countess Irma Sztáray, the Empress’s final lady-in-waiting, played with cunning and exuberance by the dependable Sandra Hüller.” — Variety

“[A] proudly unconventional and unabashedly queer film.” – Film Obsessive

“Hüller, who was recently Oscar nominated for Anatomy of a Fall and won acclaim in Toni Erdmann several years ago, shows a welcome light touch in her many scenes with the always winning Wolff,” – Film Forward

“Brilliant actresses Sandra Hüller and Susanne Wolff give powerful performances in director Frauke Finsterwalder’s fascinating historical drama.” – Alliance of Women Film Journalists

“With a snappy script, lavish production design and a rock-n-roll attitude, this blackly comical period drama comes to life in unexpected ways through vivid details, settings and characters.” – Shadows on the Wall
