Triumf

Sometimes good actors, script or directing can save a blank story and make it watchable. None of these are present in a movie ridden with cliches, uninspired acting and "clever" insiders jokes, which can only be understood by a very narrow demographic.

The attempt at cinematic shooting fails spectacularly, with unnecessary scenes ongoing for minutes, without bringing anything to the story arc. Characters are one dimensional and their fate is sealed from the moment they appear, with obvious visual clues ensuring that there will be no surprises in the character development, as such doesn't exist.

The good news - the two minutes trailer tells you the full story, omitting only a flaccid sex scene.

Every actor should be ashamed to be part of this movie. Such a low quality production that I was ashamed even to watch it. I cannot decide what is worst In this movie. Imagine paying for this movie in theaters. I would want my money back :D.

Weak story following by weak cinema. Movie costed 500k euro. I have no idea where the money went? Maybe is one big scam to make money? Who knows. All the positive comments here I believe are friends of the people who had part in the production. Don't waste your time.

This is not a genre movie, so don't be misled by those who dismiss it because they don't understand it.

It is a metaphor for seeking freedom.

The girl has a true free spirit, so does her lover.

All the rest are opportunistic hypocrites.

So, taking it this way, the actors are brilliant.

Each one of them understood exactly the meaning of his/her character.

The script is a knockout for the official story of the fall of communism. The truth portrayed in the end is that it never fell, eventually...

A real triumph for conspiracy theorists.

I was really surprised to see such a strange movie from my Bulgarian peers! It was enjoyable, funny, engaging, with very strong performances, and amazing cinematography! I understand how some people might find it difficult to digest, but for me it was a pure pleasure to see where the story and the weirdness will go! And it didn't disappoint till the very end shot of Maria Bakalova's character against the sky...

The hole of Tsarichina is one of the most interesting conspiracy theories in Bulgarian history and therefore it is a beautiful material for a movie. When I saw that this movie was being made I was really excited.

However, my expectations were too good to be true. This movie wastes the huge potential for an amazing plot, delivering only disappointment after watching it.

The movie has several problems. The first one is the unstructured and goalless plot, which delivers nothing of the expected and wanted result (the progression in the hole mining). The second one is the uneven speed of the plot, where at first nothing much happens and at some point it launches at light speed. These problems emerge from the absence of clear goal. I don't know what needs to progress because the movie doesn't reveal the final goal.

The humor is pretty goofy and unintelligent. There are several sexual jokes which bring nothing but cringe and annoyance.

I am really disappointed they took this amazing idea, implemented it in the script in the worst way possible and now there is almost no chance that a movie is made for the Hole of Tsarichina.

The 2 stars given are because they took on the idea in the first place. Nothing else in the movie fulfills my high expectations.
