Filmdienst (Ulrich Kriest)

The biggest surprise in the colorful festival program was “Stand Up! What remains when everything is gone” by Timo Jacobs. While in his directorial debut “Klappe Cowboy!” (2012) one could still regard him as an epigone of his discoverer Klaus Lemke, his new film exudes a melancholy that has been washed away and actually brings to mind films like “Supermarket” or “Fat City”.

Maike Schade (Szene Hamburg)

Cowboy (Jacobs himself) is a “man in the splits”: “Mann im Spagat” is delicious if you like weird, absurd humor. Cowboy’s “cantilever” world is full of bizarre characters who spew wonderful philosophical wisdom. Tell me again, nature conservation is not sexy!

LONELY WOLF: LONDON By Adrian Perez

STAND UP! is a memorable weird egg of a film that will snatch our hearts; as well as proving one of the most exciting actors of our generation, Jacobs also finds his auteurist imprint that has a sprinkle of Allen’s sadistic comedy touch.

Maxim Biller (Writer)

Anyone who believes that German cinema is as dead as German theater should definitely not watch “Klappe Cowboy!” This film is too romantic, funny and serious to be true. Thank you, Timo Jacobs, and by the way: what is the phone number of your leading actress?

Felix Neunzerling (ZOOMMEDIA)

Director, leading actor and producer Timo Jacobs as a kind of modern Don Quixote who proves that the filmmaking spirit of Fassbinder, Schroeter, Lemke and Co is still very much alive.

Sabarno Sinha (Cult Critic Magazine)

Timo Jacobs’ rich use of symbolism throughout the film is an intelligence experience for us.
