Weekly Volcano's Review

Roger Ebert on March 21st, 2012

Tempestuous romantic fantasy based on bits and pieces of the German poet's youth, largely fictionalized. Alexander Fehling plays the young man who hates the prospect of becoming a lawyer, and Miriam Stein is the saucy provincial lass who bewitches him. Moritz Bleibtreu completes the triangle as Goethe's boss and the girl's fiancé. Good-looking, fun, ends before Goethe did much of importance. - Three stars
