Watch Barbara Movie Online No Survey Winner of the Best Director prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival, the latest film from Christian Petzold (Yella, Jerichow) is a simmering, impeccably crafted Cold War thriller, starring the gifted Nina Hoss-in her fifth lead role for the director-as a Berlin doctor banished to a rural East German hospital as punishment for applying for an exit visa. As her lover from the West carefully plots her escape, Barbara waits patiently and avoids friendships with her colleagues-except for Andre (Ronald Zehrfeld) the hospital's head physician, who is warmly attentive to her. But even as she finds herself falling for him, Barbara still cannot be sure that Andre is not a spy. As her defensive wall slowly starts to crumble, she is eventually forced to make a profound decision about her future. A film of glancing moments and dangerous secrets, BARBARA paints a haunting picture of a woman being slowly crushed between the irreconcilable needs of desire and survival. Germany's official Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film. Release Date Barbara Dec 21, 2012 Limited

Review For Barbara
[Leaves] you drained and horrified. Anthony Lane-New Yorker Sometimes, the sun shines and the wind blows fresh and the very elements that make for intense hardship also open a window on intense joy. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Hoss is mesmerizing as a woman who holds it all together to the point of losing herself. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star It's one terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving as just about anything that's out there. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times It's a quiet film built of careful details. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post "Barbara" re-visits the quiet, everyday tragedies of the Iron Curtain era, when paranoia ran deep and for very good reasons. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post Worth seeing ... both for Petzold's singular aesthetic and for Hoss, who as usual is a riveting presence. Stan Hall-Oregonian A well-observed, compelling, and evocative character piece, haunted by the ghosts of Germany's recent past. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Feels like total immersion into the sights, stresses, and the subtle solidarity among middle-class professionals living in the workers' paradise that Petzold's parents fled. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com [R]esides somewhere in an unsatisfying borderland between drama and thriller, never quite catching fire as either... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher A superbly crafted low-boil drama that gets its hooks into you the old-fashioned way, through character, and highlights the difficulties and cost of living by principles. Brent Simon-Shockya.com Subtly intriguing and ambiguous, it's filled with suspicion and subterfuge. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Despite the limited scope of its predictable narrative, "Barbara" remains a compelling character study thanks to Nina Hoss's enigmatic performance in the title role. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Christian Petzold's latest thriller threatens to cross over the line from minimalism to nihilism. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics Both insightful and poignant, but not mawkish...an intriguing character study set against the backdrop of a dark time in history. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion The plotting, the planning and the deepening relationships don't make for kinetic action, but they are the foundation for a smart, engrossing film. Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Hoss' acting is a marvel of subtlety; her body language is precisely calibrated to reveal a great deal about the character's inner feelings by the slightest changes of posture and facial expression. Soren Anderson-Seattle Times ...a slow building character study where looks and actions speak louder than words because of an oppressive political climate. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
