Lacrimi de iubire

As a Romanian living abroad, I don't often get to see Romanian films, apart from the old pre-communism films they show on SBS or some comedies with actors of old, occasionally I come across a Romanian film on Mininova, however they are few and far apart. Imagine my surprise when I came across this title, which promised so much, but delivered so little.

From the very beginning I was wondering what is going on here? The plot wasn't evident until about half way, and the end was very predictable. It was only after watching the film that I found out it was a movie version of soap opera. It seems to be missing something from the beginning, which obviously requires the viewer to have watched the soap opera to have an idea of who is who and what is going on. Imagine Days of our lives the movie?

With better script writing, some better introductions of who the characters are and some better acting, this film could have been much better than it was What ruined it for me was the lack luster acting by most characters, all the actors were pretty, and if it wasn't for that, I would have stopped watching it after the first 15 minutes. After seeing so many other romantic movies made by Hollywood or Bollywood, this film is "B" grade at best.

I gave it 2 out of ten because of the pretty actors and the fact I got to see some of the Romanian country side. If you have nothing better to do, and the paint is already dry on your walls, then I recommend watching this movie.

The basic sin - it is a copy of classic soap opera. Love, hate, conflicts, artificial tension, blanck performances and dialogues. The basic virtue has two aspects - Bebe Cotimanis giving a more than decent performance and the zoung actors, far to be brilliant but giving reasonable performances. Sure, it is far to be enough. But , not ignoring than the serie reflects the interests of a TV company to seduce a precise target and, after Latino series is an exercise to propose a Romanian version, it could be defined as nice. Sure, with a lot of indulgence.

the actors are far from being natural. Constantin cotimanis is the only one who acts like a professionist. everyone else is boring especially the children. they don't have anything to do with acting, they have no idea how to say the lines naturally. i've watched this...TV series...for the story, not for the actors. but i have to admit that if Bebe cotimanis wouldn't have played in it, i wouldn't have watched it at all. so, in conclusion. Romanian series are not so good. we can do better. we can find better actors or make the actors we have play better. this is all i had to say. i'm sorry if someone doesn't agree with me but it's my opinion and, for 99%, the truth.

I think its a good movie and I'm glad i decided to watch it...the actors are so natural that you almost place yourself into the action of the movie.they are not all known actors but i think they did a great job and i truly admire the whole team.

I hope that people all over the world will start to watch Romanian movies,this one its something else.Its not a very complex movie but it just makes you live everything in it.Its just inspired from normal people life,maybe a little fiction but just enough so it doesn't ruin the beautiful love story,or to leave the imprecision of a 'too sweet movie'.I think i will watch it again.I love it!
