• Positive Reviews: The British film magazine Sight & Sound praised Nina Hoss’s performance as "a masterclass in restrained agony." Critics lauded the film’s refusal to explain Gitti’s psychology. "We don't need backstory," wrote critic Jay Weissberg. "Her present is her prison."
• Negative Reviews: Conversely, The Hollywood Reporter called the film "excruciatingly inert," arguing that the Lulu Film 2014 mistakes lethargy for depth. The main complaint was the lack of narrative payoff. Audiences expecting a thriller about art crime were disappointed to find a meditative character study.

3. Direction & Visual Language

Sander Burger employs a verité, handheld style reminiscent of the Dardenne brothers but with a colder, more stylized color palette (muted blues, grays, and neon nightlife tones). The camera often lingers on Lulu’s face in medium close-up, refusing to let us look away. There are no glamorous slow-motion shots of her walking down a street—only uncomfortable, prolonged takes of transactional sex, drug use, and emotional cruelty. This naturalistic approach makes the film’s occasional surreal touches (a dream sequence with a wolf, echoing Wedekind’s animal imagery) feel jarring and effective.

Style: Reviewers from Eye for Film praised the film's "painterly landscapes" and "intense proximity," noting its timeless, almost artifacts-of-a-previous-era feel.
