„A mesmerizing utterly committed performance by Henriette Heinze as a young woman swept away by an amour fou makes Beaking the Surface a breath of fresh air. This notable debut from Munich-trained writer-director Felicitas Korn carries an erotic and emotional charge that doesn’t rely on visual or verbal histrionics for its protag’s confusion. Hihgly accessible pic.” (Derek Elley)

„A very intimate look at the pleasures and perils of young love. In her frank, stylish debut feature, Felicitas Korn displays infectious energy, startling emotional insight and a rare command of that most awkward of filmmaking challenges: the sex scenes.” (Hannah McGill)
