“Watching the film I was very confused for a long time why this was running in the Teddy section of the Berlinale. The closest the first half hour came to the theme was to display a borderline incestuous relationship between the father and his son. But then again, Jonathan also looked at nudes of his mother and threw himself on top of his aunt, so thatu0026#39;s that. The acting was beneath contempt – stiff and wooden. Not for a second did I believe any of the characters to be real, throughout the film I could see the actors attempting to act. The lines were the biggest problem – both the script in itself as well as the delivery of it. It felt so artificial I couldnu0026#39;t help but laugh at certain scenes that were intended to be touching. The film is named after the u0026quot;main characteru0026quot;, yet he is the least thought out character of them all and therefore the least interesting.”
