Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Wetlands is a film that gloriously embraces a frank exploration of human bodily functions like no other, a veritable 'warts and all' endeavor, if you will, that's refreshing, funny, and most importantly, memorable.

3 stars out of 4 -- This no-bull spellbinder is allergic to sentiment….WETLANDS keeps its humanity intact.
Rolling Stone
In spite of an early disclaimer that states "This book shouldn't be read or adapted to film," taken from a letter to the editor from Bild Online, you're glad Wnendt and company went ahead and did it anyway.

Moveable Fest
Rating: 3/4 --
A film that is always vibrantly alive with a sense of self discovery and even wonder - at the world, at life, at the human body, and it does so without any self consciousness or forced sincerity.

From the Front Row
... The film is packed with subtle, feminist riffs on romantic movie clichés...

Flavorwire
The tone is breezy, bright and brash, vividly illuminated by Ms. Juri’s extraordinarily unprotected and utterly fearless performance.
New York Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Wetlands is one of the most daring, visually arresting, innovative, and imaginative examples of filmmaking to come out of Europe in recent memory.

Product Description:
Helen Memel (Carla Juri) is one troubled soul. The product of severe emotional abuse early in life, she developed weird, OCD-like attitudes toward sex and cleanliness as an adolescent, and began to harbor serious issues involving trust. As a young woman, she rebelled against the repression that she knew as a youngster, by engaging in unconventional sexual activity such as onanism with vegetables, and practicing horrible scatological acts, such as barefoot strolls through raw sewage, and direct exposure to filthy public toilet seats. When Helen clumsily attempts to shave her nether regions, she ends up with a serious injury and must be hospitalized; bedridden, she begins to reflect on her wild and colorful life and sexual history. Meanwhile, she also develops feelings for a male nurse in the hospital (Christoph Letkowski), though it remains unclear if she has the stability necessary to get out of her predicament and make the relationship work.
