fantastic - gets better as it progressesNeville
A great movie, whose deliberate staginess speaks about the regime and its media before the Fall of the Wall - and after.frankqb
The film's fun and heart-warming premise leads to several moments of greatness, and it serves as an illuminating chronicle of life after the end of the GDR. A touching portrait of devotion to both family and history that has some depth to it. 3 stars out of 4.jpatrianagara

Very interesting plot, but it could be more dramatized and less melodramatic, it could have been a top movie..arunraj

I love this movie !stexdo
Funny and with a great lead actor.senorroboto
A little mawkish but merits goodwill because of its earnestness and nostalgic whimsy. In a way a lot like a big-city German version of small-town British Isles movies like Ken Loach's, Bill Forsyth's, or other films like Waking Ned Devine, etc.Captures the spirit of a time and place and takes you there with a sense of wonder.

Watched it at history classes, great movie.TheodorIDontKnow
They made up "fake news" - in the best sense - before that notion even existed. Good Bye Lenin! was immensely successful in German cinemas when it came out in 2003, so much so that it created the so-called "ostalgia" hype back then. We Germans remembered cult things like Spree forest pickles without forgetting all the bad stuff that happened in the GDR. What a funny and touching movie!Siskoid
Good Bye Lenin! is a German comedy mostly set after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a son desperately tries to make his mother, fresh out of a coma and weak of heart, not find out Communism has fallen and the West has, for lack of a better term, invaded. Even for those of us who didn't live through the old regime, the film makes us live the nostalgia, and while the East had its bad side, there are things one might nevertheless miss. What Dianiel Brühl's Alex creates is a better version of East Germany, as a love letter to his mother, memories of whom are inextricably linked to the GDR, and thus a love letter to her, and to the values she gave her children. The film is directed with flair and humor - I like the whole thematic thread of Alex idolizing a cosmonaut, playing into West Germany's other-worldliness, for example - and has real heart.fricken
