A very enthusiastic review was written by the renowned critic Vincent Canby in the '' New York Times '' which stated : " It is beautifully and enthusiastically performed and it does n't contain a single superfluous or redundant camera movement . Like Mr. Fassbinder 's own early films , ' Tenderness of the Wolves ' is cryptic , tough-talking and swaggering in the manner of someone who means to shock his elders . Like the early Warhol work , " Tenderness of the Wolves " seems to be sending up everyone and everything , but , unlike the Warhol movies , it takes filmmaking — the possibilities of the discipline — with complete seriousness . " The film was nominated at the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival for the Golden Bear
