Critics consensus

“Minimal and intriguing, this Teutonic retreading of The Postman Always Rings Twice is tense and ominous throughout.”

RTTime OutNov 17, 2011

An expertly constructed thriller that never rises above the trappings of its genre.

Petzoid takes the Cain themes of lust and duplicity and twists them into a reflection on modern Germany, where nationalism and loyalties and identity and economics are jumbled and thrown into confusion.

RTPhiladelphia InquirerAug 6, 2009

A taut, German-made thriller, Jerichow adds a bit of European xenophobia to the pulp traditions of passion and betrayal.

RTA Good Movie To WatchNov 24, 2023

The subtle, multi-layered performance by Nina Hoss fuels the film with even more contradictions, but only on the level of emotional alignment: the plot is univocally clear when it comes to who wins and who loses in the game of love.
