Departe de tine

This film came as a real surprise. Though the ending is perhaps a tad predictable, it is made up for by the superb performances from lead actress Maria Dinulescu and lead actor Jonathan Ahmadi. The script is focused and engaging and there are some fantastic shots of Bucharest and surrounding environs. Recommended.

Maria Dinulescu brings real depth to a character torn between her home and her heart. An authentic film about the struggles relationships face when those in it have different ideas about where 'home' is.

A touching film exploring the turbulence of love as it moves across borders. Fantastic to see such a strong female lead, who really made the role her own.

If in a film there is a scene that has no reason, there is no scene, and in extrapolation, there is no film. This film has great potential, it has good potential, it has potential, and it ends up still holding it, but not realizing it.

The story is that of too many modern couples in the true middle class, where both are involved in the economic life, and none are involved in the family building, or at "home", irrespective where the address of that lies. But to make a film out of a good idea seems to elude the director here, the screenwriter, as well as not hitting home with the main male character, which comes across as trying too hard, and having himself missing the memo on how to deliver the drama.

All in all is not as bad as it seemed midway through, but to me it massively underdelivered to the implied value that it could have with such as good overall story.

My advice is to skip this one, unless for the above average delivery of the female character.

Separately, the fact that it was a low budget, still came across for the portrait of the business work, activity and afterwork, this though, it's a minor failure in the big picture.

Sometimes it is hard to live your life "elsewhere". Elsewhere being not the place you were born. Some people like travelling, like being everywhere all at once (no pun intended and not trying to quote a movie title here). But others do like to be in certain places.

The movie is not just about homesickness though. It is about love - about trying to make things work. Being a couple, understanding what needs the other person needs and what has to be done, that both are happy. Well that is the thought behind it at least ... as you can imagine and as life is ... it is not that simple.

If that is enough for you, the movie will tick all the right boxes ... it is a pacing issue for some, a drama for others (no pun intended) or just life as we live it ...
