"
Yella
uses Byzantine business deals, corporate shenanigans and sink-or-swim stakes to dramatise the internal negotiation of a character's (and a divided nation's) dreams and anxieties."

"
Yella
comes off as too intellectual an exercise to be thoughtful or serious entertainment."

Boyd van Hoeij
3/4
"German writer-director Christian Petzold transforms the classic American cult movie
Carnival of Souls
into a bleak drama about soul-sucking alienation in the reunited Germany."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
6/10
"A suspenseful film carried off without the viewer knowing what the suspense is all about. ... The mystery happening in the margins of this story is more interesting than the mainline plot."

Mark R. Leeper
1.5/4
"Far less concerned with character development than with bludgeoning clues to the drama's true nature."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3/5
"Its scenes involving the perilous business negotiations offer more genuine intellectual excitement than any CGI-stuffed chase."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
3.5/5
"Tricky and insinuating, this German drama has the subtle subtext of a thriller as it follows a woman caught at a crossroads in her life. It's a little aloof and dry, but very well made."
