Moi, apprivoisée?

The Netflix/Hallmark template overlaid on 2022 Poland. If you wanted to get a feel of modern Polish Culture is this at all enlightening? Maybe a Post-Putin tour of the country would be more enlightening!

If you are in the mood for something that requires little cerebral activity and have an escape from the day to day, this is a decent watch. A retake on the classic but with the female still maintaining her persona rather than being a submissive, mixed with some Polish culture and cinematography makes this a harmless, sometimes funny film. It has a plot and stays pretty much on track and it ties up at the end.

Don't try to overanalyse or think you are some big shot movie critic but take this movie at face value. It's simple and playful, it has funny anecdotes - some that get lost in the translation - and it's innocent fun.

In this post-Hollywood world, Americans are having to range further afield for their entertainment. I have not seen a lot of Polish entries here in the states and I am glad that streaming services like Netflix will give actors/actresses in other countries the opportunity for wider exposure.

This is a cute little romantic comedy with decent acting, believable chemistry between the leads, beautiful costuming, and stunning vistas. While is is next to impossible to match the multi-billion dollar budgets of legacy Hollywood films, I would argue that's a good thing. There is something fundamentally unreal and plastic about Hollywood productions and though that's fine for science fiction and fantasy, it simply fails to make up for a lack of good storytelling and just basic ENTERTAINMENT, which is the point of the whole endeavor. I look forward to seeing more productions from Poland.

Is this a comedy? If so, it's not funny, it's boring and full of cliches. The acting is horrible as well. Anyway, don't waste your precious time with this horrible film.

I loved this movie. The wardrobe, level of acting skills, and scenery made this one of my favorite movies this year. At first I was hesitant to watch it because I had to view it with English subtitles, but don't let that distract any potential viewer. It's well made, and left me having good dreams, and a desire to know more about Polish culture.
