Pressure too great: 🎬 “Citizen Vigilante” now receives FSK approval after all ++ film listed at major cinema chains The FSK has bent: After weeks of controversy over Uwe Boll’s new film “Citizen Vigilante”, AUF1 reported, the voluntary self‑regulation of the film industry has made a remarkable turnaround. The initially stalled revenge thriller is now allowed to be shown in German cinemas after all. However only for persons aged 18 and older. According to the FSK, “Citizen Vigilante” received on July 6, 2026 for cinema evaluation the rating “18+”. Thus the path for screenings in German cinemas is basically open. ⚠️But for DVD, Blu‑ray and streaming this rating does not apply: Instead, according to the FSK, a separate review process is still underway. In social media the sudden turnaround is mainly attributed to massive public pressure and solidarity by Elon Musk. The X chief had made the film temporarily available on his platform and thus directed international attention to the case, AUF1 reported. “That's the power of X”, says a comment. According to Kino.de, “Citizen Vigilante” is already listed in the system of major cinema chains such as Cinestar, CinemaxX and UCI. Whether and when it will have a wide cinema release remains open for now. 📺 You can watch the AUF1 interview with Uwe Boll about his film here: https://auf1.tv/nachrichten-auf1/regisseur-uwe-boll-bei-auf1-mein-film-wurde-verboten-weil-er-zu-kritisch-war
