Surprisingly well done. Subtle and layered.
Great story writing, good attention to detail, great acting.
Especially interesting angle of racism in Germany. Interesting vignettte where the Turkish protagonist is getting rejection letters until he uses Alexander's (blond blue eyed German name and photo) and gets an interview. Our household is still discussing the movie - it is quite layered and deeper meanings.
The erotic shots were also tasteful and subtle - able to watch with my mama.
It was a surprisingly tight movie too. I think it was only 1h15min, but they keep the story line moving.
Not just a basic gay love story. Will put on our rewatch list for sure!
