Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Das schreckliche Mädchen" or "The Nasty Girl" is one of the most known German films from the 1990s and the reason is probably that it was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and won a BAFTA. It had its 25th anniversary last year and stars Lena Stolze as the title character. She won a German Film Award for her portrayal of a young woman who takes a look into her town's history during World War II. Of course, this causes a lot of trouble as many people do not want the public to know about the ways in which they collaborated with the Nazis. And this includes high-profile people too. I personally enjoyed the watch here. The way the film develops was a bit surprising as it starts as a story about a girl crushing on her teacher and is pretty unpolitical for a long time early on.I think this was a good idea as it certainly helped with writer and director Michael Verhoeven's idea to make this not too serious and there are light moments from start to finish in this 90-minute film that go very well together with the more serious historic parts. The only situation where it did not work out was the early classroom scene with all these sleazy references. That was a bit embarrassing and I am not sure what Verhoeven was thinking when he included this. This is just a minor criticism though. I believe the characters and the plot work nicely from start to finish otherwise. It is easy to like and feel for the protagonist, especially in her moments of weakness and sadness and also easy to admire her determination. And still, she is nobody who wants to hurt people, she says at the end that she almost feels sorry for her main antagonist when everything became public. But the film is not only about Stolze's character, it is much more about the people and their reactions to what she does. A pretty interesting character story and even if it does not end up as one of my favorite German films ever, I still recommend, especially to people with an interest in German politics. I personally felt the tone and style was sometimes similar to "Das weiße Band" or "Die Blechtrommel".

Michael Neumann It may sound in outline like a bad joke, but this daring comedy about a young German girl's frustrated attempt to uncover the Nazi past is no laughing matter. The film has a lot of the same, sassy energy as its heroine, who as a schoolgirl began a lifelong investigative crusade to unearth the Nazi skeletons in the closet of her Bavarian hometown, discovering firsthand the hypocrisy and complacency of her friends and neighbors (and, by extension, of the entire German nation). The story is drawn from actual events, but the heavy stylization of the film takes (deliberately) some of the sting from the facts, by lending them an almost playful air of unreality sometimes unsuited to the subject. The approach takes a little getting used to, but it makes sense: in a country afflicted with retroactive amnesia, history itself can sometimes seem equally unreal. Altogether it's a fresh look at otherwise familiar material, with a sudden, unresolved ending offering plenty of food for thought.

DemiMooreisHOT Me and my homies watched this movie together, since we are all in Deutsch class. The only reason this scheisse was funny was because of how 'schrecklich' it was. The jokes were never funny, especially how the money looked like a vagina if folded correctly, that was just wrong. Also at some points when they were in their living room, it showed a street background that was moving, so it looked like they were sitting on a couch that was on the back of a flatbed! That was easily the funniest part of this horrible movie. 3/10

cmyklefty Das Madchen Schreckliche (The Nasty Girl) is about high school student girl who write an essay of her town during War World II. She gets a violent opposition for search the truth in her essay. The film is based on a true story. I remember seeing the woman on 60 Minutes a couple years ago talking about her life that the film is based. The performances in the movie was great but the ending was weak.
