PRESS- AND AUDIENCE COMMENTS
MOVIESECTION:
"...a film that has a grip on you from the start, exciting and not letting you go untill the very end... seven days sunday is one of the best films shown for a long time...
SPECIAL MENTION FILMFESTIVAL BIBERACH 2007:
"a first work with courage, consequent script, visual tight atmosphere and impressive young actors. Seven days sunday takes the audience relentlessly in its very personal analysis of the causes of daily existing violence."
BLICKPUNKT FILM:
"...the story is told in 80 minutes without any flourish, in the best moments condensing into an uneasy tension..."
FILMBEWERTUNGSSTELLE WIESBADEN:
"...A well investigated, detailed and authentic reconstructed first work based on a true incident, cinematically drawn up good, testifying an ambitious direction that will go far. Especially the dealing with violence convinces, because never the sensationalism of the audience is addressed and still the awfulness of the crimes gets tangible; that goes under the skin."
FESTIVAL DES DEUTSCHEN KINOS- FILM MAINZ (audience comments):
"the film seven days sunday shows the inner life of teenager searching for their own identity. Niels Laupert directed a film with the main topic not on the crime itself but more on that what we all know in a certain way. The searching for recognition/love. A film that goes into the soul. Look at it and donot look away!!! Seven days sunday."
"Relentless and desperate the film traces how it comes to an absolute senseless and therefore incredible horrible crime. Look at it without emotions, donot try to explain the protagonists or even to justify them. Very strong. And one is very very worried about a society where something like this can happen. Cold-blooded in the ghetto."
