Roxana Hadadi Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024
The Audition considers how we navigate the middle space between power and powerlessness, and Hoss’ performance, whether she’s yearning for affection or responsible for staggering brutality, is the film’s greatest asset. Go to Full Review

3/5
Not lacking in psychological turmoil but the ending doesn’t quite connect the dots. Go to Full Review

4/5
Hoss was acting muse to Christian Petzold, carving intense feeling into German social parables such as Barbara (2012) and Phoenix (2014). Her humane performance here gives a warm blush to what could be a chilly portrait. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE May 3, 2026 An intense psychological study of a woman who is trying to balance the different forces acting on her life. You need to like, or at least not dislike, classical music, as major part of the movie is preparation of an apprentice violin player for a concert. She has to manage loyalty to her husband versus a potential lover, as well as her own young son against her young male student. All these conflicts lead to a tragic end. Very well acted. On Tubi.
