Rating: 4/5 -- I think we learn much more about Dietrich than we would have if she had submitted to the usual paint-by-numbers, fawning Biography Channel type of film. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- At once enigmatic, deliberately obfuscating in nature and extremely revealing. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The bilingual parrying between the withholding diva and her frustrated chronicler often seems like Sunset Boulevard re-imagined as a radio play, with sex removed from the equation but marlenus interruptus aplenty. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Schell uses the limiting conditions-Dietrich did't let him photograph her-to an advantage, resulting in a revelatory work that's more interesting because of the combative relationship with his subject, a star wishing to keep control to the bitter end Full Review

The result is a fascinating document, not only of the star herself, but also of the documentary as personal process. Full Review
