Angst in meinem Kopf

About This Movie

Angst in meinem Kopf is a deeply atmospheric drama that dives into the life of Sonja Brunner, a prison officer caught in the web of her complex relationships. The film does a solid job of exploring the emotional toll of her job, especially as it weaves through her strained family dynamics with her stepdaughter Iris and husband Jens, who’s struggling with his own creative aspirations. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of tension to build, and the performances—while understated—carry a weight that lingers. The use of practical effects in certain tense scenes adds a layer of realism that complements the raw emotional landscape, making it distinct in its portrayal of familial and societal pressures.
