Je Suis Karl

Very simple, out-of-the-box story. I think most people can figure it out in no more than 30 minutes. Me too. But then? In for a penny, in for a pound. I kept bingeing it and the the atmosphere got a bit tenser afterwards. With a simple story like this, it's really up to the director and the protagonist to prevent u from getting bored. They've done well. I would say they are above average.

Luna Wedler is a bit overact in certain emotional scenes. Yet, all in all, she is a bright actress and I love her performances in several films including this one.

Besides the fact that the acting is just beyond magnificent, the whole story is shocking. I literally cried at least three times while watching & I'm definitely going to rewatch.

Some people might think it shows a way too one-sided perspective, but if you think about it a little it's actually a lot deeper.

The film shows that extremism can come from all sides & can be equally dangerous & dangerous. Instrumentalization goes undetected for too long & not everything you think is really right. Complex thinking is important.

I rated 9/10 stars because the age restriction should be significantly higher in my opinion. Young people could be misinfluenced & misguided if they do not understand the message.

Je Suis Karl may be cliched in many respects but the movie does represent the chaos, confusion and resultant dangers of our times.

A scared, young survivor of an attack becomes another victim of a radical, extremist group plotting to shift opinion through the savvy use of social media.

For some, the film will be an eye opener about the lengths to which some groups are willing - and able - to go to further their political agendas.

Je Suis Karl is a believable story set in the backdrop of the political polarization found not only in Europe but across many parts of the world.

The movie may move slowly initially but the story picks up pace as the plot unfolds. A worthwhile film for the politically inclined film goer.

It seems difficult for so many to watch a movie these days simply to be entertained. I found the acting, story line and production to be top-notch. It's not a documentary folks. Just enjoy it!

Let's first start with the most important thing: don't look at the rating.

First, look at the comment and you'll understand why the general rating is so low: people obviously didn't get it and decided to put a 1/10 just because of it.

The truth is: this movie is a very good one.

People say the acting is bad: I hope those saying that are actually producers, actors, writers because: how can they judge ? Especially knowing the actors have both very good references, as well as the creator.

People say the story is bad: well if you don't get the details and the story behind, maybe.

But if you do, what a movie!

The true face of the far-right, far from what you would initially think. How someone can come from an extreme and reach the total opposite due to a single event.

The kind of movie that will make you think about the society, politics, and maybe even yourself.
