There are too many characters and stories in this film, and only a handful of them particularly interesting. And for some reason, the film returns to the blandest characters of this portmanteau tale, leaving the most fascinating people and tales behind. A disappointment - a film I did not fall in love with.
I have no idea why this movie has bad reviews/grades. Perhaps it's because people who watched it and reviewed it had expectations that were completely off... Anyway, I thought "Berlin, I love you" was fantastic. A number of movies inside a movie, or stories within a story. It's like I walked into Berlin and got to spend some time in other people's lives, share their thoughts and imagination for a little while. Their point of view. A piece of life we get to witness. A hope that even when we feel lost, we'll be found again. Life can be easy, if we choose not to complicate it.

A jumbled mess, Berlin, I Love You is a barely coherent indie drama. Featuring Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Luke Wilson, Jim Sturgess, Mickey Rourke, and Jenna Dewan, 10 stories (presumably set in Berlin) are told, each with a different subject; one about a performance artist, one about a Lothario, one about a social worker, etc. Most of the stories are underdeveloped and don’t go anywhere, and the performances aren’t very good either. Also, the sets and locations are rather dull and don’t really convey a sense or feel of Berlin. Bland and lifeless, Berlin, I Love You is incredibly disappointing.
