Plot: Following a terrorist attack, survivor Maxi joins the beguiling student Karl and becomes part of a European youth movement – one that aims for nothing less than seizing power.
My Movie Review: The movie is uncomfortable to watch with fast shots that hard to follow plus the violence in the rallies got too real, scary and troubling to digest and mostly loud total chaos! Je Suis Karl is such a disappointment to be exactly you watch movie to ease the stress you face in the real world to escape but this is so problematic you can't grasp what really happened and where it's going you're just thrown out to this nonsense chaos and doesn't know it's about:( Who are the ones to make this right? European youth movement one that aims for nothing less than seizing power? Power to who the government then what to do to that power? Just asking!! Luna Wedler made me watch this movie because I like her Netflix Series Biohackers I thought its going to great since she's in it but quite the opposite as' the worst movie I watched in Netflix! If the purpose is clear and we know that they fighting for this could be worth rooting for and a possible turnaround to sell the deal might work with all intense scenes the end should be ease! The director, Christian Schwochow is so focus on creating gripping action sequences he forgot how to tell the story right on the other hand Jannis Niewöhner is so good with superb acting and impressive presence in the stills made an impact his in the making of European Superstar!
Critic Reviews: The director, Christian Schwochow, sets up a gut-punch that doesn't land. Big swings don't count for much when basics of plausibility and structure are so muddled. Je Suis Karl can be excruciatingly on the nose... It is also more than a little awkward that a drama decrying racism barely bothers to have any non-white characters. There might be a better film in what's here, something that judicious trimming and re-arranging of scenes could bring out. While the intention behind this German-Czech thriller may be admirable, too much of it focuses on the wrong story and the wrong characters. Je Suis Karl was not the movie I saw advertised. It’s so far out of balance, and its message is particularly muddled. Throws us in a dark, infinite tunnel. Not quite right. This drama on Netflix tries to make a hard-hitting statement about youth and the far right in Europe, but it muddles basics of plausibility to be honest it so hard to watch! Though spirited performances bring the material to life to an extent, the screenplay never quite manages to make extreme conversion of its main character, who lost her mother and siblings in a terrorist attack in Berlin, credible. This, in turn, makes the project’s prospects beyond home turf something of a question mark, though streamers looking for topical fare will want to take a look. The Berlinale stamp of approval' where it screened as a Special Gala- certainly can’t hurt!
