Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
A misanthropic fairy tale so lushly designed and photographed it seems to have been conceived in a fever dream.
New York Times
Fassbinder crafts a fascinating examination of passion and pettiness, with Elisabeth Trissenaar's powerhouse performance at its potent core.

Follows along the Sirkian themes of dissecting the petit bourgeois.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The lack of narrative rhythm in the film's present form makes it a grueling experience even for those sympathetic to Fassbinder's enervated view of the world.

...It seems to have been conceived in a fever dream....Trissenaar's Hanni is a fascinating creature...

The film is often compared to Madame Bovary, but the overall effect is closer to that of Von Sternberg's The Devil is a Woman.

And, despite the fluidity of the filmmaking, The Stationmaster's Wife is an awful lot of misery in just one sitting.
