Sorry to disappoint you, but there was no lesbian love in this film, it wasn't even hinted at. I don't know what evil country you are talking about.....I saw none of that here, either.
Nothing disappointing or cliched about this movie to me. The subtitles told me what was going on, the acting that went with them was in sync and believable. I'm not fluent in German but it sounded more than passable to my ears, so it was a bit of a surprise to learn that the 3 leading women had very little command or understanding of the language and had to do their scenes in small parts with the German speaking lines memorized but with practically no understanding of what they were saying.
I applaud the film-maker for presenting us with a film that will remain for quite some time in the memory - at least, in mine. I don't understand the negative comments and criticisms. Given the "lost-in-translation" issues (how the spoken lines were often delivered), I think the film-maker created a wonderful film.
