Toni Erdmann (2016) - 162 min

Toni Erdmann is a German comedy-drama film directed by Maren Ade.
Starring Peter Simonischek, Sandra Hüller, Michael Wittenborn, Thomas Loibl, Trystan Pütter & Hadewych Minis.
A young professional German woman, Inès who works in a multi-national company has to survive a weekend, when her father Winfried comes to visit for the weekend. Winfried is a practical joker who wears false teeth and speaks in funny accents. After a couple of days Winfried starts to show everywhere Inès goes and also ruining her job.
It's a performance oriented movie. Both Simonischek and Hüller's performance was equally remarkable and their chemistry also helps the movie in a good way. There is a birthday party in the film towards the end and this is the first time am watching a party like this. This is one of those films in which the punch line is always delayed and offbeat comedy unfolds over a long time. Adé's film never loses its touch and shows the way how parental love can overcome any difficult situation. Overall, it's a must watch for drama movie lovers.
Verdict: Mediocre
