"Charming in a way that American romantic comedies have all but forgotten." -Jeannette Catsoulis, NPR.org

"Insanely romantic." - -Tim Cogshell, KPCC

"While Stölzl is clearly borrowing from other historical flights of fancy, such as Amadeus and Cyrano de Bergerac, along with Shakespeare in Love, the helmer and fellow screenwriters Christoph Mueller and Alexander Dydyna expertly mold these elements to fit the characters and situations' own requirements, and expertly alternate romance, humor and drama without losing their grip on the characters and their dilemmas." - Variety

Director Phillip Stölzl ("Northface") returns to the very wellspring of Romanticism - Goethe's autobiographical masterpiece "The Sorrows of Young Werther" - and conjures up a beguiling and refreshingly innocent period romance.
