Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

kaosmistress This is a great show with wonderful characters and story arcs. However...it was left unresolved with apparently no plans for a season two. Disappointing.

tomrobla Several plot threads are connected by two families living at each side of The Wall. Main plot is East German spy trying to turn an NSA analyst. Another plot is how an East German family is dealing with the performance enhancing doping of their daughter. Another plot is about a gay man trying to escape East Berlin. Series does a good job of developing the characters and motivations.Terrific look and feel of 1970s Berlin. Old buildings,clothes,watches,cars,hair and The Wall appear authentic. Filmed in Prague. The Cold War, East (socialist) vs West (capitalism), Nixon, West Berlin was an occupied city with American soldiers everywhere.The spoiler is there are no spoilers. No plot lines are resolved and everything is left open. I hope there is a season 2.

James Kitsch The show mainly revolves around Lars Weber (Tom Schilling) - A Romeo agent from East Germany sent out to seduce and retrieve information from certain female personnel of the West German government. Though the plot seems deeply rooted in James Bond territory, the show quickly dispels this assumption by deviating from the generic alpha-male lead and instead opting for a young neophyte agent. One whose lack of experience leads him to act like an obedient schoolboy, scarcely questioning his superiors, still prone to rookie mistakes, but undoubtedly capable of maneuvering himself with impeccable finesse and apt vigilance. Apart from Lars Weber is a multitude of well researched and astutely written characters and sub plots that successfully depict the daily struggles and momentary triumphs of Germans during the cold war. And while the story transpires in that era, many of its themes, such as the pursuit of freedom, the willingness to sacrifice oneself, or the unapologetic demonstration of fervent (albeit misguided) patriotism prove to be remarkably relevant to date.The Same Sky is not a facile series that hinges itself on historical clichés and typical Hollywood thrills. It does not carelessly dismiss the east as a stifling communist dystopia nor does it gratify the west as a freedom-bloated paradise. Rather, it is a cleverly crafted opus that tells the story of the people of the cold war through an unbiased lens

guycorhuo ****WARNING SPOILERS****The same sky is an interesting TV show but sometimes quite predictable. It's true that the authors unveil the (supposedly) shocking twist in the last episode (by the way, here in Spain the series has been divided in six episodes one hour long each episode) of the first season but you can guess it easily since the second or third episode. When I was watching it I thought it was going to be a mini series and all the plots were coming to an end and I discovered there was going to continue in further seasons 45 minutes into the last (and sixth) episode. I've liked it but I don't think it's so interesting to make it last more than one season. I admit that there were some story lines that I didn't understand (Why should we be interested in knowing anything else about Emil once his mother has died? What's about that eager informer from the factory?) and at the end I got that these are going to be story lines for the second season. I'm not sure whether I'll be watching it once the second season will be released because I haven't found it so thrilling to wait a whole long year but if you're interested in revisionist European TV shows based in actual events or historic periods maybe you should give it a chance.
