Movie review: – Toni Erdmann’ cringes, smiles, sings through life

“Toni Erdmann ” is a hard film to love, but that might be the point. The German movie from the clearly talented and incisive writer/director Maren Ade seems like it should be a comedy – the lightly plotted character study is about a father trying to introduce some chaos into his adult daughter’s overworked life – but it’s far too cutting and uncomfortable to generate much joy.
