This is a great movie with amazing actors

This is a great movie with amazing actors and it catches life in the deprived areas of Berlin in the early 2000s brilliantly. It's also a coming-of-age film and while being very brutal and bleak, there's a glimmer of hope in the end. A fair warning: it makes no sense watching a dubbed version of this movie; I guess that the omnipresent slang and therefore the whole feel for the early 2000s in major German cities would get lost. And: for some viewers the (youth) violence and depictions of social decline and domestic violence might be too much. In my opinion this film can hold its ground next to a masterpiece like "Absolute Giganten" (English: "Gigantic") (1999) while being a bit more unrefined and drearier.

Masterclass

Story and acting pull you into the screen. I hope, the circumstances of the teenagers in the Plattenbauten are not that brutal as shown in this movie. Poverty of the families prevents the kids to get access to attention from girls or better educated grown-ups. And so the kids do not get a compass for strategic decisions towards a better life.

The most important treasure in such a toxic social environment is close friendship to get a chance to survive the teenage years. And this friendship between 4 teenagers is the core of the story.

My best movie of 2023 so far. A pity it is too dirty for an Oscar nomination.
