A Thousand Lines

German films are rarely of suprisingly good quality, in my opinion. This one does surpass the mediocrity of the usual content.

All in all, it is a Smart mix of satirical comedy and serious analysis of the sadly continuously downgrading quality of journalism in the age of instant information.

I particularly loved the editing, which was the best part of the movie for me. Thematically the movie was also quite enthralling.

The humor is quite diverse and functions sometimes quite well.

The virtue-signaling is a slight insult to the viewers intelligence as it even explicitly questions the latter.

I would give this movie a 7.5 out of 10.

Tausend Zeilen is a compact story that discusses the immense importance of honesty in our duties towards society. A very intriguing subject that leaves room for humour and excitement at the same time. Great use of visuals indicative of the contrast between the two main characters. Great dialogues and extra scenes draws a good picture about hardships faced by a journalist. It's a great tribute to all the writers who brings knowledge to this world. Also the commentary on corporate politics was done brilliantly. Tausend Zeilen is a complete production that offers a lot without consuming alot of time for it.

I really enjoyed this movie! It has an amazing message and story that is told with Humor and very cool scenes! The music was also very well chosen and the overall implementation was soo good!

It has great tension and is enjoyable and fun to watch every second of it!

I'm usually very critical of German movies and productions, but this one has a great flair and amazing cinematography!

I love how a lot of scenarios were filmed, even though there were only imaginable events! It made the look of the movie very different and more dramatic and exciting.

Especially the topic and overall message that you can't trust everything you read and you should always be cautious what you believe.

I definitely recommend to watch it!

This movie uses cliché'd cinematics to try to bolster a weak and boring story, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it didn't fail horribly in doing so.

It's like the producers and directors had a list of boxes to check, and closed their eyes and pointed to scenes and used them at random. So it's like a pretentious student film. Casting is also cliché'd and acting poor to mediocre for the most part.

This could've been a good film (if the script were a bit better), and I imagine it will end up in some film-school course on how not to make a movie.

It's remarkable that it got theatre distribution in its country of origin. I guess the theatres there are desperate for content.

Hadn't written any review for years, this movie irked me into writing one.

Imagine a movie where not one character is likeable. The storytelling is full of annoying clichés, trying to create the vibe of an Edgar Wright&Simon Pegg collaboration but comes nowhere close.

The story itself is quite interesting, it takes something to turn this story into a boring movie.

It was a very poor movie that I do not recommend watching. Every participant comes off looking bad. (the director, the writer, the actors et cetera) Trying to fill this review with enough characters while trying not to be too harsh.
