Ehirerapp Waste of time
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Alaska Johansson" is a German 90-minute television film from 3 years ago. Director Achim von Borries is somewhat known in Germany and writer Sascha Arango has also worked on one or the other solid project. But their collaboration here is not the greatest achievement. Not at all. The title character is played by Alina Levshin, who looks like a stereotypical Russian contract killer in here, even if the story goes into another completely different direction. Stipe Erceg and Sebastian Schipper are also known to German audiences I guess. It is a story about mental disorders and child abuse, so some really serious topics in here and occasionally, it seemed as if the plot almost takes a turn for the horror genre. But overall, I would not say it is a horror film, but a psychological thriller. Unfortunately, it does not only offer really nothing new to the genre, but stays painfully above the surface for basically the entire film with some occasional clumsy attempts to create depth, but it rarely works at all. I have to give it a thumbs down. Not a good film, not even for television standards. Watch something else instead.
