Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun - Times on July 8, 2005, the film was no other film like he had seen so far. He was " alive " and " bold ". The written in pentameter dialogue would not like " tried " by the characters " recited" act poetry.
The lexicon of international film wrote that the film was an " artful love story, the stereotypes of romantic comedy completely renounced the U.S. " as well as a " lovingly drawn relationship and identity drama set against the backdrop of social and political crises ." Commended their " stunning sound design ", the " written in verse dialogues " and "fascinating acting actresses ".
Kerstin Decker wrote in the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel of 14 February 2005, the film was " not a film about the meeting of cultures ", but a film about love and the " fallenness of cultures together ." The representations were " wonderful".
