Having reviewed Wolfgang Becker’s Good Bye Lenin! both last year and when it was released in 2003, I don’t see a lot of point in having a third run at it, especially since both reviews are available at www.mountainx.com/movies. It is, however, worth noting that this pleasant—and occasionally deeply perceptive—film is back on the local menu.
