Criticism
The lexicon of international film called forest intoxication as "colorful remake of the film Ganghofer'schen novel in costumes of the 60s. So realistically this is the backdrop of the modern large construction site, so clichéd appear the acting figures: Neither the novel nor the time to be taken " The filmdienst said the film was" despite realistic details sentimental and dishonest ". .
