Legacy

Some critics have stated that mumblecore ended around 2010, as the original crop of directors began making films with larger budgets, more diverse storylines, and a more conventional cinematic approach.

Outside the United States

Mumblecore has not always been a strictly American phenomenon. Since about 2009, the Berlin Mumblecore movement has had its own manifesto, ''Sehr gutes Manifest''. Berlin Mumblecore is not a reaction to the American hype so much as it is a reaction to the lack of reform in the German public financial support system for the film industry (Filmfoerderung). Crowdfunding is a new possibility to finance movie productions with small and very small budgets independently from restrictions of the German Filmfoerderung. In 2009, Jette Miller's ''Austern ohne Schale'' was screened in Berlin. In 2011, the movies ''Frontalwatte'' by Jakob Lass and ''Papa Gold'' by Tom Lass were released. The latter won several German film awards. 2012 saw the release of ''Klappe Cowboy'' by Timo Jacobs and Ulf Behrens, as well as the award-winning ''Dicke Mädchen'' by Axel Ranisch.Denis Demmerle: Eine neue Schule. In: Berliner Filmfestivals. 2012-04-28
retrieved in December 2012 In 2015, Malte Wirtz ''Voll Paula!'' had its theatrical release, having also been produced without film funding. Since then he produced three more Mumblecore Films (Hard & Ugly, Only one day in Berlin, About Rita!) and the media called him one of the most active German directors.
