Secretul fericirii

It's difficult to write this without giving away spoilers...let's just say there's a blend of comedy, drama and thriller unlike anything else out there. Given its minimalist setting (3 actors on a balcony for the entire film) and its reliance of dialogue and acting in its entirety, this is truly a gem.

This is easily one of the best films of 2018..

The movie starts in a very relaxed situation, with a drink, a smoke and abstract discussions about life. Almost silly.

It progresses ever so gently with minute twists and turns.

Whatever you think this was about gets challenged. It gains intensity, until it all cascades down with a palpable sense of impeding doom.

The characters are almost psychologically waterboarded.

The writing is genius, as this is all done mostly with dialogue.

I watched the movie in the morning, and still in the afternoon i am under its influence. First Romanian movie for me, and waw. It is very rarely that some movie suprise me so much. I am reading now that there is a very popular screenplay in Romania, from which the scenario is adapted. I recommend this movie without further explanation, let be suprised!!!

I agree with how Toma reacted when he found out the truth. That's how you roll in The Shire.

A sick concept, but the best way to unmask the ugly truth.

10/10 from the director to actors. Amazing plot!

I've seen the movie in Tel Aviv, within the Romanian festival running in Israel The theme, the play particularly Vlad Zamfirescu's, is of inspiring quality and strength! It's amazing how with such limited set up, one terrace, limited cast, a tense thriller is created, beautiful developed through a well constructed crescendo, culminating with with an open and surprising finale! Like a good wine it leaves you with a long and enchanting after taste Continue with the good job Adrian Shenar
