Andrea Gets a Divorce (2024). 1h 34m

“Josef Hader has returned to the directoru0026#39;s chair after his first film as a director, u0026quot;Die wilde Mausu0026quot;, was a great success with critics and audiences. Now he has raised the bar considerably. This time he has taken the subject of his film much more seriously, even if the typical raunchy dialogue can still be heard here. Nevertheless, the core story tells of policewoman Andrea, who wants to divorce her husband and then move from the provinces to the state capital to pursue more interesting police work. But then a stupid accident happens and Andreau0026#39;s entire life is thrown into turmoil. Along the way, the film uses clear, calm images to show us the simplicity and loneliness of life in an insignificant place somewhere in the countryside.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBirgit Minichmayr as Andrea, who has been the most sought-after Austrian actress in the German-speaking world for some time now, carries the film with incredible presence, and thatu0026#39;s a good thing, because the story offers hardly any external tension. Everything happens in the moment and her restrained performance gives the viewer just enough insight to understand her next steps. However, she is supported in the supporting roles by an impressive array of acting greats in some very small but fine roles. Thomas Stipsits in particular, who, like Hader, comes from the cabaret scene and is enjoying increasing success in film, puts on a great performance in the role of the drunken husband of a young man.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJosef Hader appears here as the second main character in the plot, although he primarily acts as a catalyst for the developing story. His character has all the typical Hader characteristics: a loner squared with a penchant for self-dismantling. Despite the occasional situation comedy that arises from this, it is ultimately this honesty towards himself that will ultimately save Andrea from her inner shell.”
