And to end on a lighter note, the most entertaining films I watched at #berlinale apart from #GhostInTheCell:
#SunnyDancer
Has no hospital scenes, but other than that the script is pretty similar to other "cancer films". But it still hooked me very fast (probably because of the extremely embarrassing parents) and took me on a fun roller coaster from there on. Where the film shines is the great acting, you get very close to these characters and experience the camp together with them. If you like coming of age films you should definitely give this a try.
#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie
In my opinion, it has a similar problem to the Deadpool films: it starts off creative and promising, but then reverts too much to classic patterns towards the finale. But still very entertaining all the way, doesn't take itself too seriously and thereby has the chance to deliver a lot of great laughs, while not hiding its critique on modern technology.
