This was a thoroughly enjoyable, completely charming film--one of those rare movies that successfully manage to blend drama and comedy! The actors do a great job, the characters are totally endearing (even the mother, a staunch communist, is portrayed sympathetically), and the dialogue was well-written; the plot, which is fascinating in and of itself, is executed wonderfully and to its full potential. I guess that it could have been done better, but I for one don't see how.
Goodbye, Lenin! focuses on an incredible period in history, gives it a human face, and then manages to include a story so interesting that anybody with a brain would enjoy it. Definitely recommended, both to history buffs and film lovers alike!
