Lieber Kurt (2022)

Lieber Kurt (2022). Lieber Kurt: Directed by Til Schweiger. With Marie Burchard, Jasmin Gerat, Teresa Harder, Simon Hatzl. Kurt (Til Schweiger) and Lena (Franziska Machens) move together into an old house outside the city that is in need of renovation in order to be closer to Kurt's six-year-old son, little Kurt (Levi Wolter), and ex-wife Jana (Jasmin Gerat). But before their patchwork family happiness can really begin, little Kurt is killed in an accident – leaving behind three adults who don't know how to live with this tragic loss.

“Tragic story with some halfway decent scenes, the turning point for the main actor at the end was nicely done, but other than that, the movie felt repetitive. We saw many scenes where the father was going through his loss and at some point it just felt like nothing was happening anymore. I would have loved to see the 2 parents reconcile as they do in the book. Plus filling this movie with boring and over used jokes did not help the movie at all. Of course some were funny, but not many. One thing that confused me though, that was never touched on, was the sons creepy biting his lips, when watching the movie, the guy one row in front of me asked his girlfriend whether the boy was retarded, because he kept making this one same face. Which I only after the movie found out is just how the kid likes to look, I cant believe they left that in, it always made me feel sad, when I saw him do that, because I thought the child was handicapped, but finding out later that he doesnu0026#39;t, just made me feel bad about them having him do that in the movie in every scene he is in, thatu0026#39;s almost like clowining handicapped people.”
