\n
\u201cToni Erdmann<\/i> is its own kind of rebellion, a thrilling act of defiance against the toxicity of doing what is expected.\u201d New York Times<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Toni Erdmann doesn\u2019t exist but is one of Winfried\u2019s alter egos and a desperate attempt of a father to connect with his troubled daughter. This is an extraordinary German comedy drama \u2014 funny, awkward and touching. A deep exploration of a parent-child relationship in modern times.<\/p>\n

\n
"Calling it a bittersweet comedy wouldn\u2019t remotely do justice to the Zen-like equipoise in which Ade and her sensational cast hold its sweetness and bitterness." The Telegraph
