How About Adolf?

How About Adolf? (Der Vorname, 2018), directed by Sönke Wortmann, is a German comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A dinner party among educated friends takes a sharp turn when Elisabeth's brother Thomas announces the name he has chosen for his unborn son: Adolf. One word, and the evening implodes.

Christoph Maria Herbst and Florian David Fitz lead a sharp ensemble through 91 minutes of escalating argument, each exchange peeling back another comfortable assumption the group had agreed to leave undisturbed. Other marriages, old grievances, moral posturing — it all comes out over one table and one bottle too many. The film is wickedly funny precisely because every character believes they are the reasonable one in the room.
