Fatih Akın yapıyosun bu işi.
beklediğim gibi kendi tarzında değildi ama baya güzel gerilimliydi. sonu pek sarmadı.

What a heavy and gripping story with a phenomenal performance by Diane Kruger. Had my attention the whole time and wow that ending…

I genuinely believed IN THE FADE was going to be alot like Jennifer Garner in PEPPERMINT but I was wildly misled, especially by those final anxiety-ridden 20 minutes.

While I commend the filmmaker successfully blowing smoke in the eyes of the audience who are often conditioned to believe logical cues (for e.g. prison wedding, big house — her husband must be shady). It immediately becomes clear by the film’s second act that the victims were targeted purely on the basis of race; mirroring actual events in early 00s Germany.

Again, the final 20 minutes coupled with Diane Kruger’s performance is what truly pushes IN THE FADE to a tier of it’s own.

Half-star for Diane Kruger and Denis Moschitto. I don’t think Fatih Akin is a very good screenwriter, and he loves to use rape and suicide to propel his stories. But damn it, his films always successfully manipulate me; a credit to his actors. I loved Gegen die Wand (Head-on (not to be confused with the good gay Aussie film of the same name)) and his documentary about the music of Istanbul was entertaining. Edge of Heaven was fine 👍. As another reviewer mentioned, cringey use of the metal 🤘 font for the title card. Good double feature with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan’s The Foreigner.
