Reviews

Der Kaktus has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the performances of the cast, particularly Nadja Uhl's portrayal of Gaby, others found the pacing of the film to be slow and the storyline predictable. The film's exploration of the themes of family dynamics and the challenges of caring for a special needs child was commended by some, but criticized by others for lacking depth. Overall, the movie has been described as a heartfelt drama that tugs at the heartstrings but falls short of leaving a lasting impact. IMDb rates Der Kaktus with a 6.0/10, reflecting the polarizing nature of the film.
