Very childish and pretentious

It maybe possible for teenagers but definitely not for the matured adults to do such ridiculous and shallow activities like what we saw in this movie. The camera work is great, the acting of both leading characters also quite good, both are good looking and easy to be accepted. But in the fussy and busy modern day society, the whole movie just looked too pretentious and childish. You have to ask yourself during watching this movie, seeing these two young adults do to each other to follow the demands from each other, would you do things like that? Do you still acted like teenager, doing those juvenile stuff? And these couple as lovers on the day to decide breaking up when 24 hours ended? It's a child play that only could happen in a whimsical movie like this one. 1 star for the camera works, 1 star for these two actors who had to act like two kids, playing a very childish farewell game. No star for anything else.

Charming, immersive and thoughtful

Lovers is a romantic tragicomedy about two lovers who spend their last 24 hours together in Berlin before they plan to go their separate ways. I was truly immersed in the narrative. Knowing that the dialogue was mostly improvised and that the main part of this film was shot within 24 hours in Berlin gave me a deep appreciation for the creative process that went into making this story feel as nuanced, realistic and as alive as it did for me. I was enchanted by the performances of Björn von der Wellen and Magdalena Steinlein. The story felt like Björns constant attempt to bring Magdalena's character around to seeing the connection that the two have. The subjects that are raised through their conversations and "When Harry Met Sally" style talking heads provided honest glimpses into their lives; the subject matter around the bigger questions that come up for us in life resonated a lot with me and really carried me through the story with them.I think that to create a piece like this that is largely improvised with bold artistic choices throughout reflects the courage, creativity and artistic spirit of the director Rebecca Panian and the filmmakers behind this.
