This man is trauma-bonded, otherwise I cannot for the life of me accept this. And she is worse. That shift and that confession and his reaction, I mean this is the most twisted romance ever posing as wholesome first love.

Anyway, surprisingly I liked this a whole lot more than the series about the tweens, possibly because there's almost no teasing in this one. They're adults forced to think about adult stuff, only they barely manage to... Anyway, I must've liked overall it since I struggled to watch this over two torturous overnight flights to and from Istanbul, tinkering with the clearly tired and much-abused in-flight entertainment system.

The title says it all really.

It explains really well the mechanisms for it and how life was for Romanians under Communism. And why some of those same Romanians (and new ones paradoxically) would become nostalgic for something they view through rose-tinted glasses and selective memory.

Funnily enough, it also anticipates in 2020 some of the social and political convulsions we have been experiencing for over a year now.

I don't know what foreigners would make of this, how much they would understand, but for sure it would be educational and informative for them if they concentrate a little.

Ada Milea rules!

This movie is hopeless... I kinda feel sorry I watched it. Where on earth is the comedy here?

The hypocrisy of these women is very triggering. Lashing at each other instead of pointing the finger at the real culprit, the one who caused so much suffering to plenty of women. The scene where they corner Shula and Nsansa to supposedly declare their love, but in reality to cover up for their own lies... Hated just about everybody here, to varying degrees, of course.

Blaming and abusing the widow like that was the last straw. These women are feeding the sexism under the guise of customs and traditions.
