„This monumental mosaic is taking the audience on a ride through an encyclopedia of overused, misconceived, and corrupted concepts and ideas. The fact that it concerns the favorite vocabulary of current discourses, the golden calves of contemporary controversy, makes for a considerably explosive force.“ (Boing Boing)
„A swan song to the society of ignorance…“ (Skug)
„Glossary of Broken Dreams is a nerdgasm of creative consciousness meets good intentions and abundant doses of intellectually informed human compassion. It’ll fuck with your mind. Then laugh.“ (The Independent Critic, Richard Propes)
„It’s aggressive, doesn’t pull punches, and burns through ideas at machine-gun rate… 97 head-spinning minutes of core dump rage and frustration that is also entertaining and witty.“ (Film Threat)
„Brilliant feat…“ (Profil)
„Popcultural wholesale assault…“ (Diagonale 2018)

„It’s really hard to deny the expert way this movie was pieced together. It’s a mix and match party of epic proportions.“ (IndyRed)
„The movie delivered on many more levels than I expected possible. It has the potential to break into echo chambers and filter bubbles; it can empower people by providing them with a deeper understanding of the human condition.“ (CelebBeat)
„Despite addressing political issues, revolutionary ideas and gently poking at the present culture of lackadaisical, dependent and largely misinformed public/audience, the film delivers its content with class, wit and generous humour.“ (Indie Shorts Mag)
„Grenzfurthner gleefully sends [concepts] to the butcher, he wallows in their intestines, reads them to reveal an uncertain future.“ (Zebrabutter)
„A highly intelligent and topical film, Glossary of Broken Dreams is an engaging epistemological documentary that will have you chuckling about, choking on, and considering the validity of, your political ideology.“ (UK Film Review)
„Is it a narrative film? Is it a documentary? Is it both?“ (MicroFilmmaker Magazine)
„An exhausting, maddening experience…“ (Film Inquiry)
„Glossary of Broken Dreams would be a proper commedia if it weren’t so tragic – and yet it cleverly plays with both classifications, either juxtaposing or simply interchanging them, thus contributing to the ultimate proof of the non-existence of binaries.“ (The 405)
„This movie should be seen by everyone trying to understand what is going on with the world and this generation. All of those concepts that Johannes explores, and that make our generation tick, are in the end all broken dreams.“ (Let’s Geek)
