Er ist wieder da, der Führer. Knapp 70 Jahre nach seinem unrühmlichen Abgang erwacht Adolf Hitler im Berlin der Gegenwart. Ohne Krieg, ohne Partei, ohne Eva. Im tiefsten Frieden, unter Angela Merkel und vielen tausend Ausländern startet er, was man am wenigsten von ihm erwartet hätte: eine Karriere im Fernsehen. Denn das Volk, dem er bei einer Reise durch das neue Deutschland begegnet, hält ihn für einen politisch nicht ganz korrekten Comedian und macht ihn zum gefeierten TV-Star. Und das, obwohl sich Adolf Hitler seit 1945 äußerlich und innerlich keinen Deut verändert hat. (Constantin Film)

Diese kluge Satire ist eine Antwort auf das globale Phänomen Hitler, das seit 1945 sein zweites Leben führt. Es gab schon immer viele Möglichkeiten, mit dem unrühmlichen Erbe des Nationalsozialismus umzugehen. Hitler ist zu einer Karikatur und zu einem Forschungsobjekt in jeder erdenklichen Hinsicht geworden. Das Fernsehen zeigt Dokumentarfilme über alle Banalitäten des Alltagslebens in den Jahren 1933-1945. Die Jugend von Adolf Hitler ist natürlich ein Thema für sich. Da gibt es all diese Filme wie Hitler - Aufstieg des Bösen (2003) oder Bühnenadaptionen von "Mein Kampf" (2009). Diesmal kommt die Parallele zu den heutigen populären Formaten ins Spiel, die durch Sacha Baron Cohen populär geworden sind. Zum Glück ist das Ergebnis nicht auf dem Niveau eines billigen Schelmenstücks, dank der gründlichen Recherche ist das Werk erschreckend authentisch. Ein Potenzial für die Rückkehr des Bösen besteht nämlich immer.

It took me a while to understand that the creators jumped on the wave of Borats and Brunos. Only with the difference that the main character here is Adolf Hitler. Also thanks to this I respect the idea and the concept, which is flawless. During the movie, I felt sick because of how many Nazi-like qualities Germans still have. We all know about it, or at least suspect it, but until you see it, you can only guess. Well, and this finding was enough for me as a current testimony of one nation. It is also the only positive thing about the movie. The movie itself actually isn’t very funny, it is unnecessarily long, and the story is more of an accessory to the discovered findings. But you can be sure they will not do you any good. And you will even live to see an ironic comment about our country…

Definitely hats off to the idea and originality, but as a comedy Look Who's Back didn't really succeed for me. The humour missed the mark for me, I was more curious about people's opinions and Hitler's actual speech in the modern world. Decent, but I was expecting much more. 60%

Pat and Mat doing politically incorrect comedy. So what if Pat can't make movies and Mat isn't funny. The very initial problem is that the film doesn't feature the German Hitler of the 1930s, as he liked to pretend to be, but an internet-based, thousand-times memed android of our own making as a result of society's embargo on historical ambivalence. Only as such does he attempt to function as both a comic and instructive figure, while failing to do so as anything other than an utter construct that does things only to drive the plot and perpetuate socially desirable controversy. The most problematic aspect, however, is the method of the mirror to nature, which mixes what are probably real shots of people reacting to Hitler (who, by the way, doesn't look much like the real Hitler) with scenes that try to look like they were filmed with a camera present documenting the action, which the untrained eye cannot distinguish. If the filmmakers have chosen to push the central idea of the eternal Hitler in this way, and present it to the viewer by shamelessly combining reality with fiction without bothering to separate these elements from each other, they are committing irresponsible hogwash, no matter how grand their ideas are supposed to be.

Definitely a matter that has an idea, clear evidence that if the creator wants to warn about something, they should do so in the form of comedy, because the impact is greater. On the other hand, Germans should stop constantly apologizing for their ancestors, grandparents, and great-grandparents, especially those who did not hesitate to take advantage of anything and anyone from the former Reich after the war (for example, the American rocket program built on Werner von Braun or former SS members fighting in the Foreign Legion in French Indochina). Well, comedy and so much to contemplate...

I got what I kind of expected. It's not as crude as Borat, but at times, the social critique is just as powerful, maybe even more so. I'm not sure how much of that is staged, but even so, I still think that unfortunately Hitler still has his supporters among us. Entertaining and brought to a wonderfully depressing end.
