Winfried doesn't see much of his working daughter Ines. The suddenly student-less music teacher decides to surprise her with a visit after the death of his old dog. It's an awkward move because serious career woman Ines is working on an important project as a corporate strategist in Bucharest. The geographical change doesn't help the two to see more eye to eye. Practical joker Winfried loves to annoy his daughter with corny pranks. What's worse are his little jabs at her routine lifestyle of long meetings, hotel bars and performance reports. Father and daughter reach an impasse, and Winfried agrees to return home to Germany. Enter flashy 'Toni Erdmann', Winfried's smooth-talking alter ego. Disguised in a tacky suit, weird wig and even weirder fake teeth, Toni barges into Ines' professional life, claiming to be her CEO's life coach. As Toni, Winfried is bolder and doesn't hold back, but Ines meets the challenge. The harder they push, the closer they become. In all the madness, Ines begins to understand that her eccentric father might deserve some place in her life after all. 2016 Komplizen Film, Coop99 Filmproduktion, Missing Link Films.

Sandra Hüller is unforgettably brilliant in this film. Odd at first, the movie grows on you and before long you don't want it to end. Despite its length, which breezes by, I watched it twice. The minor problem with the film is the father, the title character. He isnt funny. The death of a dog isnt either. Perhaps the titular father's presence is supposed to be annoying and almost grotesque. I don't really consider this film a comedy and the final scene strongly suggests it wasn't. The content did NOT earn it's R16 rating here. Perfectly good viewing for 12+. Enjoy!

Brilliant and heart warming! A wonderfully weird tail of a dad helping his daughter to find herself! Loved every second of it!!
