13-year-old Radost (Lola Dockhorn) lives alone with her dad Bruno (Christian Ulmen). However, he is not like other fathers, but suffers from oligophrenia: he has roughly the mental level of a ten-year-old. However, this lack of intelligence has not prevented Bruno from being a great father to his daughter all these years. However, Radost's awakening puberty and her first crush on a classmate reveal the first serious problems. Radost becomes increasingly aware of how mentally superior she is to her father. Her responsibility, which until now has been a variation on their relationship, becomes a huge burden for the young girl, who actually wants to lead the normal life of a 13-year-old. "When popular actors portray disabled people, it's always a tightrope walk: because the acting is obvious, it's much harder than with other roles to forget the actor behind the character. This is also true in this case, especially as Christian Ulmen is not Dustin Hoffman, who once won an Oscar for his performance as the autistic “Rain Man”. [...] Nevertheless, the film has turned out very nicely, especially as Jacobs and author Marc O. Seng (his first screenplay to be filmed) tell an incredibly touching story; and because the director has given Lola Dockhorn, 14 years young at the time of filming, a great performance in her second role. [...] Despite certain reservations about Ulmen's performance, this tragicomedy with a surprisingly prominent supporting cast including Hans-Werner Meyer and Alwara Höfels is well worth seeing thanks to its warm-heartedness. In addition, “Einer wie Bruno” delights with a multitude of enchanting details, including the loving set design (Benedikt Herré), which has turned the apartment into a children's paradise."
