Felkészülés meghatározatlan ideig tartó együttlétre

Nothing about the events portrayed in this movie was believable and the ending was just plain silly, but it had a steady, chill vibe and the lead actress had a very captivating screen presence.

Recommended if you just want to relax for 90 mins, but don't expect anything deep.

I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

• Sylvia Plath, Mad Girl's Love Song

Márta, an American neurosurgeon, is on a bridge in Budapest waiting for the love of her life to appear at the appointed time. She has given up her job, patients, kids, and husband to be with this man. He doesn't show.

"I've never seen you before," he says when Márta tracks him down at a local hospital (he is also a brain surgeon). Still, she doesn't let it go. Márta is Carrie Fisher in Blues Brothers level obsessed. She gets a job at his hospital and starts to woo him again. She is certain he will remember. Or perhaps it is all in her head. "A brain is like a city. There are abandoned buildings that can be sacrificed if need be, to save the whole."

Cerebral in more ways than one, this female driven film is an intriguing brain tickler. There are many possibilities as to what drove Márta to Hungary and where she is going from here. Her love interest is seen with another woman of course, so there's that, but thankfully the film goes much deeper than this tired old trope. It delves into Márta's mental state. She has done something like this before in a previous romance. "I wanted something so bad I lost myself" Márta tells her psychiatrist, and yet you don't get to be a brain surgeon without having a healthy intuition. She struggles to trust herself.

There are some amazing scenes including of Márta and the other doctor following each other across Budapest on different sides of the street. There are fascinating twists and turns.

This movie flows like a big river. If you can just enjoy the slow flow, the soft cinematography, the imperfect buildings, the very minimalistic acting, you will have a good time.

The story is meant to be very simple, this is all about the mood it tries to convey.

Having never seen a Hungarian movie before, I didn't know what to expect. From its setting in beautiful Budapest to its haunting theme and the instant connection we feel with its main character, this film gripped me from its opening moments to the end of the credits.

Is it a mystery? Yes. Is it a romance? Yes. Will you be surprised by the ending? Perhaps. I liked that it kept me guessing and on my toes. We never really knew what was real and what was in her head.

A beautiful and touching film that I'll recommend to others.

A wonderful movie. In a time of great absence of humanity and love in culture and all around us with mobile phones and thousands of unnecessary information bombarding us every day, this masterpiece restores my hope for salvation and the victory of beauty and kindness. In the daily madness and artificial speed imposed on me and the work I do as a doctor, this film really touched me deeply. Life is most beautiful where you love and are loved, and no material prosperity can replace that. Great actors, direction and story as well as beautiful Budapest! The deepest gift for the entire film crew. Thank you very much. Greetings from Belgrade.
