Critics consensus

“While it may test viewers' patience, System Crasher is a thoughtful and compassionate portrait of one child's trauma and anger, featuring an enigmatic Helena Zengel in the lead role.”

Punkishly propulsive... a portrait of a child in the grip of a troubled psyche.

I saw this German language film at the Berlin Film Festival last year and I didn't like it. Lots of people did. So I watched it again recently. Still didn't like it.

You absolutely do understand the world of the central character. A really powerful piece of cinema.

System Crasher (Systemsprenger) is without a doubt a challenging watch, one that tests your ability to project empathy towards someone who in real life would definitely spurn it.
