Movie Overview For Barbara
Summer, 1980. Barbara, a doctor, has applied for an exit visa from the GDR (East Germany). Now, as punishment, she has been transferred from Berlin to a small hospital out in the country, far from everything. Jörg, her lover from the West, is already planning her escape. Barbara waits, keeping to herself. The new apartment, the neighbors, summertime, the countryside â" none of that means anything to her. Working as a pediatric surgeon under her new boss Andre, she is attentive when it comes to the patients, but quite distanced toward her colleagues. Her future, she feels, will begin later. But Andre confuses her. His confidence in her professional abilities, his caring attitude, his smile. Why does he cover for her when she helps the young runaway Sarah? Does he have an assignment to keep track of her? Is he in love? But as the day of her planned escape quickly approaches, Barbara starts to lose control. Over herself, her plans, over love.TagLine Barbara

Review For Barbara
Though the film runs a mere 105 minutes, it weighs on viewers like an eternity.Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
The movie examines the possibility of maintaining one's humanity in a truly oppressive society.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
Hoss, wearing her blond hair pulled back tight, and wearing an expression of inscrutable melancholy, gives a performance that doesn't feel like a performance at all.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
The occasional ravings of the patients, ringing off the walls in Petzold's measured quiet, provide an appropriate backdrop to the heroine's need for freedom, yet the movie's politics never trump its humanity.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
This is well-trod ground for Petzold, but never has it been so fully realized, so palpable, as in "Barbara."
Sheila O'Malley-Chicago Sun-Times
Hoss is fantastic. Barbara is ice cold at the start, understandably so. Yet Hoss makes her sympathetic.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
This is a remarkably subtle movie, spending most of its energy zeroing in on the clenched face of its heroine, looking for cracks.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A low-key, tenuous romance characterised by its sparse, deliberately paced storytelling.
Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz
A quietly absorbing character study.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Isn't a tightly wound story of sacrifice, yet its distance is alluring, retaining secrets and motivations, building to a satisfying conclusion.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
An intelligent, mature love triangle...It also functions as a tense, rarefied thriller about escape from a police state, as well the kind of medical procedural drama audiences gorge upon.
Richard von Busack-MetroActive
That sense of nervous dislocation that the viewer feels in the first few scenes - Where am I? Who is this person? Is she friend or foe? - efficently evokes the muted terror that its characters feel.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Petzold renders Communist oppression in a provocatively muted manner.
Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago
Stories of characters like Barbara continue to have meaning, even in a "free" society.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Engrossing Cold War thriller and love story set in East Germany in 1980.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
In short, the failures in storytelling detract from the film, despite its sensitivities, its subtleties and its final payoff of personal sacrifice.
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
A meticulously crafted drama in which the depiction of character, place and circumstance evolves slowly and with intrigue, Barbara is gripping cinema
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
This well acted political melodrama, set during the Cold War, is Germany's entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Hoss' outstanding performance is a deep well of subtle yet unmistakable motives and reactions.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
A crafty filmmaker, Petzold gives us information in increments. During the first half of his movie, which he co-wrote, we are all but left to our own devices; yet it is fascinating, and appropriate.
T'Cha Dunlevy-Montreal Gazette
