_The Golden Glove_ is an epic poem to a shit left unflushed for over a week.

Most people see an ode to the grotesque and notice only the ugliness while overlooking the poetry. Yet those who have come face to face with the foul will find the elegance in this film about German serial killer Fritz Honka. The rest will have little left with which to digest the story but disgust.

Sadly, what could've been a remarkable film is ruined by an overabundance of unnecessary man-on-woman violence which reduces this tribute to pain into a puerile obsession with misogyny.

There are only a few movies that disgustingly shock me as deeply as the fascinate me. Der goldene Handschuh is one of them. Bravo.

I'm not going to say I liked it because I think it's impossible to like or enjoy a film like this. What I will say it's incredibly done, and it does the job extremely well.

This is exactly how I imagine the sickest serial killers living their lives. It feels authentic; so authentic I even forgot I was watching a movie. Nauseating, disturbing, shocking, and brutal right from the start, and then it gets worse from there.

It's not for everyone, to say the very least. But if you have the stomach for this kind of shock-horror film and you're interested in the absolute madness of serial killers, this film is worth watching. Just once.

A powerfully disturbing telling serial killer.

It makes you wonder the kind of world where a person could do so much horror and so few did or said anything.

I thought the cinematography was well done.

There is a lot of violence so be prepared.

Catching this before it leaves Shudder. I don’t even know where to start. This unfiltered character study about a notoriously pathetic German serial killer is very tough to sit through. It's just unrelentingly bleak and depressing. You can smell the rot and feel the desperation and hopelessness as you watch it but you also can't take your eyes off the screen. I can't say I like this, because I feel depressed and grossed out, but that's clearly what it’s going for so it’s a success. There is no glorification of a serial killer here as the film doesn't attempt to make you feel for him. It also offers an interesting commentary on alcoholism with surprising pitch black humor thrown in. This is for sure not for the faint of heart.

[Filmin] The best Fatih Akin movie in its condition of breaking with everything he made before. The German post-war generation is shown without values, without compassion, without a way out. It runs away from empathy with the killer. It is a movie that stinks, that suffocates, that hurts in its description of worldly horror. The profile of a serial killer in context, in the rottenness of the soul and violence.
