Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Andrea-Maria Glaser M.A. I liked the story about the courageous Katharina von Strahlberg very much. Her adventurous fate in Africa at the outset and during WWI is partly a "who done it" criminal case, partly a love story and a partly family affairs story. Although the story has to deal with many different characters, the main plot would develop a clearly understandable story line. All the main figures receive a good deal of space in the movie to develop in a colorful manner. The alternation of tension climaxes and releases is felicitous. The plot turnarounds keep unpredictable until the very end. Although all the actors would do an excellent job, a special breath of fresh air was the amiable figure of the Scotsman Victor March (excellently played by Pierre Besson), who comes from old Europe and finally finds his peace with a near-natural life in Africa.
