This story about a group of people who live through the same day over and over again definitely delivers some surprises. The reason for this repetition may remain unclear, yet this is an opportunity to delve into the human psyche. This creates some interest, and even a little suspense.
However, the confusion in the plot is omnipresent, and after a few episodes it becomes clear that the entire story will probably never lead anywhere. It quickly turns into an intellectual tour de force; not in like a muddy river.
What is really a pity is the poor acting. The actors and the directing are not able to convince. As for many German movies, many sentences are delivered as a mumble, or in a fast, hard to understand staccato, so that parts of the story are lost. Which may well be a blessing.
