I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

For more than 20 years Berlin has to cope with the steady flow of young newcomers ("Zugereiste") from (German) boondocks, may they be students, "creatives" or other types of birds fleeing their nest. This movie is a petty comedy, made by newcomers for newcomers, juxtaposing every imaginable Berlin cliché. It's an outsider's view that lacks real insight, although, fortunately, hipsters & their electronic devices are absent. Mix Berlin clichés with some nouvelle vague, a lot of "Herr Lehmann" & - oh, don't forget typical 90s' examining your own navel. Sorry, but self- proclaimed Berlin bohemians were a bore then & are still today... OK, OK, it's a film student's final work, so prepare for some artsy Godard-like (please don't say Godardesque!) black and white & score, but don't expect much more.A dramatic element is introduced, too, by addressing 1939's "Reichsprogromnacht", but this episode stands erratic & remains rather attached to the film than woven in. Don't get carried away by the whole film school jabbering: There's as much "kafkaesque" or "Freudian" stuff as in this morning's cereal. The quite impressing cast, though, does a good job & the camera's work is solid. I would give Gerster as a director another chance, after all, you can hardly expect from a 20-something-year-old to have developed its own style, but I had one condition: no more Berlin bohemian slackers, please!

There is a theme in the movie and I'm not talking about the growing up part. I'm talking about the part where the lead character has to make decisions. Which he is unable too. You could argue, that is part of growing up, but it's just a theme that runs through many people and will touch a nerve.Of course the one thing our lead character wants, he doesn't get. There is always an obstacle, something that will not let him get it. For some that might feel symbolic (and the resolution this has or hasn't at the end of the movie might feel that way too), but that depends on how you view things. And that is something that has been done clever by the filmmaker here. Shooting in black and white is an art choice, but I feel it works for the general feeling of the movie

Oh Boy is somewhat reminiscent of Prozac Nation. The protagonist is an unlikable, spoilt child, leeching off others while breezing through life. It is an anti-"Coming of Age" film, showing how people refuse to "grow up" - even supposed adults. Niko's father is childish, his friend an underachieving actor and the former classmate he runs into is in a way still the little girl with a crush on him. It doesn't end there, even Germany itself refuses to "grow up", clinging to its Nazi past and sticking to absurd bureaucracy.On top of having an amusing story, Oh Boy has lovely cinematography. Berlin looks great in black & white, and with the lazy jazzy soundtrack it sometimes seems like a 50s film. Quite a promising start from Gerster, who won just about every German film award around.

As a German living abroad for the past 12 years, it's been a surprising pleasure to see, back in Berlin, this little jewel of a movie. Step by step the young guy's everyday-life situations pull you in, develop a light but melancholic atmosphere in which great acting, a pensive and funny script, music that reminds the best of Miles Davis and awesome black-and-white camera-work form a wonderful whole of a movie. If you see, towards the end, average shots of Berlin turned into looking poetic… you know the film has found its tone just on the right note.Beautiful - I hope this (first!) film didn't only accidentally turn out so well. You want to wish the director, all actors and his crew the very best !
