29.10.2009: "The Race" in the German Press:
„This
kids movie captures our hearts by storm!“
TV today
„A film that encourages
enormously.“
Hannoversche Allgemeine 29.10.09
„A timeless beautiful kids’
movie, that impresses with a simple story and refreshing young
characters.“
cinema
„A warm-hearted, social
restrained but very precisely told story about the power of dreams,
loss and the cleverness of the weak ones.“
Leipziger Volkszeitung 29.10.09
„A racy adventure in front of a
beautiful natural setting that shows that its worth fighting for your
dreams even when there are stumbling blocks in your way. Suspensfull
for grown ups and little ones. Especially eyecatching: the amazing
soapboxes.“
B.Z. 29.10.09
"Real life with real
characters- a bitter-sweet family film from Irleand that shows that
life can be unfair but you never should give up."
Bild 29.10.09
"A beautiful film about small
disappointments, big dreams and fast soapboxes."
Freie Presse 29.10.09
"It is the power of the film
that it does not bet on the simple happy ending but shows that conflict
between parents is not always resolved in a child’s sense and that
there are sudden decisions to be made."
epd film
„„The Race“ is most convincing
when it suggests the parental and children’s worlds are equal yet
distinct, standing side by side. Where kids’ movies often try to
get a distance from the grown up characters, director André F.
Nebe instead manages very well in his debut movie, guiding his young
heroes through the family and social reality without losing the
fun and adventure.“
Hamburger Abendblatt 29.10.09
"The Berlin based director
André F.Nebe is in his feature film debut more interested in a
multi-layer storyline than with cracking action.
His film not only tells the
story of Mary’s charming race preperation, but it also aim
contemplative tones. Thanks to the appealing cast and the multi-layered
storylines contrasting fun and melancholy, The Race is a traditional
kidsmovie and a recommendation for visitors from 8 on."
Nibelungen Kurier 24.10.09
"Certainly in the foreground of
the movie is a great race with the soapboxes and it is done with
suspense right up to the great finale of the movie. But the filmmaker
let swing ably in front of the eye of the audience and tells on the
side a serious and informative story about the problems that most kids
are confronted with at one time or other. They learn this in The Race
without preaching."
taz Bremen, 29.10.09
"Director André F Nebe
tells the story of an outsider who has to overcome obstacles and
prejudice.
The dreams of the girl are
contrasted to the divorce of the parents.
The conciliation between father
and daughter is a touching moment in this convincing film with its
exciting race. A movie that is not avoiding the problems of kids and
grown ups. Loaded with hope, the film has a go-cart race, where winning
or losing is in the foreground but true friendship is more
important."
zitty Berlin, 28.10.09
"Despite some amusing parts,
André F. Nebe’s feature film debut is not a comedy. It shows
kids and their parents living complicated lives the way it often is."
Berliner Morgenpost 29.10.09
