BBM's DVD release was this week in Germany. In my TV guide (TV Spielfim, for the Germans here), there are alsways reviews from current DVD's.
First Yay! was the fact, that BBM is the only one of 11 DVD presentations, that got a whole page of it's own
. The first page of the DVD section.
Next Yay! - it is #2 in the DVD top 5 (BBM was released as rental DVD a feew weeks ago, that's why it can be in the top 5 at it's first week of sale).
Third Yay! - the movie was highly valued and recommented. Only point of their criticism was the way how it is ballyhooed with empty bubbles, typical "Hollywood-like", and that this kind of promotion is especially for this movie annoying, because it is 'far away from Hollywood mainstream'.
For those of you who can speak a little German, here's the link to the magazine's BBM pages (it's different than the article in the magazine, but enjoyable how many sites they have for it).

and for the movie itself: "Overwhelming, a movie like a punch in the gut"
