Fatherland
The film
In 1949, German writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika embark on a road trip across a Germany in ruins, from US-dominated Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar.
The real review
It's a solid, well-crafted drama that mostly works, thanks to Sandra Hüller's electric performance as Erika Mann. The story—a road trip through post-war Germany with her father, Thomas—gets praised for its atmosphere and director Paweł Pawlikowski's visual eye, but a vocal few find it a bit too familiar. The big sticking point is the title, "Fatherland," which everyone who mentions it hates, and the character of Thomas Mann himself comes off as a dud. In the end, it's Hüller who makes the trip worthwhile.
