Emerging German actress Sandra Hüller stars in this family drama about a troubled mother who can't even get her act together for the sake of her long-suffering children. Rita (Hüller) is a lifelong criminal and a wanted woman, and in order to elude arrest she flees from Germany to seek out her biological father in Belgium. But Rita has never even met her dad, and these days he's got a new wife and family to care for. Before Rita knows it, she has been arrested by the authorities and deported back to Germany. Once back in her home country, Rita is sentenced to an extended prison sentence and her children are sent to live with her mother Isabella. Later, after being released, Rita returns to recollect her children from their grandmother despite Isabella's very vocal objections. Eventually, Rita settles down with an American soldier named Marc who is stationed in Germany and experiences the joys of a stable existence for the first time in her tumultuous life. Of course her old lifestyle is always calling, and it isn't long before Rita falls into a rather familiar trap. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Director Hans-Christian Schmid helms this award winning account of a first-year university student whose bout with epilepsy leads to a tragic exorcism. Inspired by the same events that were previously dramatized in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Requiem follows college freshman and devoted Catholic Michaela Klinger (Sandra Hueller) as she attempts to adjust to dormitory life while struggling to meet the growing pressures and academic expectations of school. Though a tentative friendship with temperamental classmate Hanna (Anna Blomeier) and a blossoming romance with easygoing chemistry student Stefan (Nicholas Reinke) at first find the shy student developing a pair of healthy bonds, an ill-advised abandonment of her medication regimen sets into motion a chilling series of events. Warned by a series of apparitions and disembodied voices that she should stay away from rosaries and crucifixes, Michaela seeks out the help of both her parents and amiable priest Father Landauer (Walter Schmidinger) to no avail. When Michaela becomes convinced that she is being made to suffer in the same manner of a well-known saint, well-intending pastor Borchert (Jens Harzer) hastily assembles an in-home exorcism that is doomed to end in tragedy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
