Toni Erdmann

Although it is a little long in running time, and tries to hit maybe one too many points, Toni Erdmann is one of the most impressive, audacious movies I've seen in recent years. The movie manages to layer in several competing themes and issues of our times within the same scenes, providing a sense of momentum and growth in its characters' struggles with these questions, without giving the audience easy resolutions to any of them. The fact that it does this without resorting to the kind of cheap nihilism or "begging the question" that many more gritty dramas resort to, is an achievement in of itself. The banality of modern times, the dilemma of feminism's struggle to pierce the corporate world without adopting the aggression and amorality of that world, the relationships between children and their parents, and the struggle between wanting to live with dignity and needing to accept reality all take center stage in the same scenes, grounded by the realistic characters and strong performances from the two leads. A fantastic movie and one I would recommend to anyone.
