Luli & Goni Lemes

Very nice film with clever humor, with events that have happened to us and continue to happen in Albania. I understand that Leme, being a single mother is very protective and therefore she acts stubborn and decides everything for her son so that what might have happened to her does not happen to him. Fjoralba is like a good part of women in Albania, who are young and the family decides her fate without asking her, simply because a man can have money and lives abroad. Luli is the personification of boys who are neglected by the family or society where they live, grow up without the care of their parents and then are then bullied. And the solution then, as for everything in Albania, is to flee this country. Goni is a mother's son, whose mother controls him for everything and will not let him do the things he wants. But in the end he understands that he must become his own master and do what his heart dictates. And then we have a train car full of other characters who not only give us picture of Albanian society but also better highlight the journey on which the characters of the film travel. And with all these ingredients mixed, comes the best thing that has never been shown in cinema, an albanian film full of humor that never slows down until the end. Even when the end credits come out. We have a small scene that is the cherry on top. Simply the best film that comes from Albania. Glad it came to Europe for us other albanians to see it.

Bravo!

This is a truly beautiful and well-crafted film that captures your attention from the very beginning and keeps you entertained throughout. Every scene is thoughtfully connected, creating a smooth, cohesive flow that makes the story easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. The pacing is just right-never too fast, never too slow-and the humor is spot-on. You'll find yourself laughing from one moment to the next, thanks to clever dialogue, funny situations, and great timing from the cast. The performances are strong, the direction is sharp, and the overall atmosphere is light and uplifting. It's the kind of movie that leaves you in a good mood and makes you want to watch it again. A perfect choice if you're looking for something fun, smart, and heartwarming.

The best Albanian film I've ever seen! 👏The story immediately grabbed my attention - the script is smart, funny, and full of heart. The characters feel real, like people you actually know, and the situations are both entertaining and thought-provoking. One minute I was laughing, the next I found myself genuinely reflecting on what had just happened. The execution is superb - I'm honestly surprised and impressed! I watched this film because I've seen other work by the same screenwriter, and once again, she didn't disappoint. Her writing has a unique way of connecting with the audience. Super 👏👏👏

Loved everything about the movie Well writen, well acted and well produced.

Even though mostly the cinema was laudly laughing, there were also a lot of reflective moments, where everybody would go dead silent even dare i say with teary eyes. The cast is amazing, Luli and Leme are very charismatic and very typical albanian figures meanwhile the couple Sara and Goni are a lot more shy, giving that very beautiful feeling of innocent young love. Everything feels real, the characters, the build up of the story, the places that they have chosen. There are also very well known almost legend figures in albanian art disciplines with little cameos such as Parodistet e Vlores, Rita Lati, Irini Qiriako etc. I can obviously go on and on and on but I highly reccomend as an Albanian for you to go and enjoy the movie yourself.

Well done! Impressed with the chimistry, flow of the movie, character build ups, pace etc.

Everybody in their life has met at least once a Leme, a Luli, Goni or Sarà so their storylines felt familiar, also organically well writen and acted. Personally loved the couple Sara Goni and found myself wishing to see more of those 2 involved with each other. People Were laughing throughout the whole movie but also there were some strong messages involved, especially from Sara's character whom Fjoralba captured impressively good. Her esence, smartness, burdens, shyness and also her wild spirit embodied, but to be honest all 4 actors did and amazing job. Truly loved the movie and I highly recommend.
