Combat Girls

Directed by David Wnendt1h 40m2011

Marisa, a 20-year-old German girl, hates foreigners, Jews, cops, and everyone she finds guilty for the decline of her country. She provokes, drinks, fights and her next tattoo will be a portrait of Adolf Hitler. But Marisa's convictions begin to crumble when she meets a young Afghan refugee, and she learns that the black and white principles of her gang are not the only way.

Our read: Combat Girls (2011) reads as a heavy, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
