Daniel jest wziętym niemieckim aktorem przyzwyczajonym do tego, że wszystko idzie po jego myśli. Mieszka w ekskluzywnym lofcie w prestiżowej berlińskiej dzielnicy, ma piękną żonę, a poukładane życie rodzinne idzie w parze z zawodowymi sukcesami. Mężczyzna jest gotowy, by zrobić kolejny duży krok w aktorskiej karierze. Ma to być rola w popularnym amerykańskim filmie o superbohaterach. Szczegóły utrzymywanej w tajemnicy propozycji ma poznać na przesłuchaniach w Londynie. Zanim jednak dotrze na lotnisko, znajdzie chwilę, by wstąpić na kawę do baru za rogiem. Jedynym klientem tego klimatycznego miejsca jest Bruno, który, jak się okazuje, na ten moment czekał od dawna. Nie chodzi jednak o autograf czy wspólne zdjęcie, a nieuchronną konfrontację dwóch zupełnie odmiennych życiowych postaw. (Aurora)

Daniel Brühl brought his low-key, yet confident and dynamically shot directorial debut to Karlovy Vary this year, and I have to admit that I was surprised how it grabbed me after a while. A conversational drama rich in ideas, with a bit of humour and many surprises, it practically resembles a stage play, taking place mostly in one room with two main characters and flowing at a very brisk pace. I'm actually quite curious to see what Brül will get up to next behind the camera. [KVIFF 2024]

A well-made conversational film with good acting by not only Daniel Brühl, but also his counterpart Peter Kurth. Next Door does not possess an utterly innovative or riveting screenplay, but it ably holds the viewer’s interest and curiosity, and in the second half, it even manages to pull an ace from its sleeve, which changes the perspective of the characters’ perception. The most valuable aspect of the film is Brühl’s autobiographical portrayal of his true self as a globally successful German actor living in Berlin. And the fragments of his interactions with the everyday world around him. [Karlovy Vary International Film Festival]

This "pub western" pitting a western star against an earthy eastern dude has potentially many layers (the relationship between West and East, gentrification, superficial glamour, loneliness), but Brühl, as director and protagonist, chooses the path of likable caricature. It's nice to look at, but it doesn't leave much of a mark on you, and Peter Kurth wins overwhelmingly in this shootout with his much more believable and nuanced acting. Ironically, the main star gets off too cheaply.

Daniel Brühl’s directorial debut is a standout. It perfectly captures the contrasting mindsets of West and East Germans. Initially, it sets the stage in a typical dive bar, the kind where the first alcoholics start banging on the door at ten in the morning. But soon enough, it evolves into an intense drama centered around Brühl playing himself and Peter Kurth as his long-time neighbor, who holds up a mirror to Brühl's life. It’s a well-crafted dialogue-driven piece where the tension escalates with every second.

Definitely not a comedy, on the contrary, it’s a full drama in with literally 90 minutes of talking, talking and talking, and not a single action sequence or joke. According to the reviews, it shook some people, but it left me completely cold. I didn't find the debates interesting, there was no significant tension, twists, conflicts or a climax of the plot. Boring.
