Balloon (12A)

Drama

A drama, set in 1979 and based in a true story, and which concerns two families who attempt to escape from East Germany during the Cold War.


The critical consensus

Solidly told thriller based on one family's daring attempt to flee East Germany.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 10/06/2019

Michael Herbig’s overwrought drama sucks the thrills out of this story of two families fleeing communist East Germany.
