Reviews
Very well executed
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Filmed in 2007 by Astrid Schult, this touching documentary portrays new child poverty in Germany: Together with his single mother and two younger siblings, 8 year old Dominik lives in a high rise low income housing-project in Berlin-Hellersdorf. His mother's helplessness forces him to take the role of an adult and manage the family's everyday-life. Just as his father should have done. The viewer gets to know a very lonely boy, who is torn between the obligations of an adult and the dreams of a small boy. Dominik's sad story represents a reality and destiny for many children in today's Germany. The film "Zirkus is nich" opens ones' eye to a major issue of Germany's society and encourages viewers to discuss and act.
