suggested keeping the dialogue in German and using subtitles. I admit it was distracting with the dubbing and the subtitles as the dialogue did not match up and the acting seemed flat at times and at other times didn't match up emotionally with how I thought the characters would sound.

It has a Twin Peaks kind of vibe if you like that. I liked the music, scenery and story line though again, at times the acting with the dubbing/subtitle combo took me out of it a bit.
