What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis is a solid, well-liked historical drama carried by its performances, especially Sandra Hüller's magnetic turn as Erika Mann. The story of Thomas Mann and his daughter on a fraught road trip across divided Germany is beautifully shot, though some find the titular idea of the fatherland itself a bit of a downer. While the director's stark style works for most, the character of Thomas Mann himself doesn't land as positively with everyone.
