What a misrepresentation of Austria

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2015)

I live in Vienna and I'm an Austrian and I couldn't bear seeing this movie. 90% of the "Austrian" cast are actually German actors and the acting in the German scenes is mostly really really bad. This probably goes unnoticed for non native people, but together with all the cliché locations the whole thing seems overly staged and like a total misrepresentation of Austria in a way that is almost offensive. I didn't watch the movie to the end, as I found the script to be quite boring and relying mostly on flashback scenes and many times miserably acted dialogue. When the "Austrian illusion" falls away, then I guess there's really not much left that's cinematic or worth watching about this movie.
