Luli & Goni Lemes

"Luli dhe Goni Lemes" is a heartwarming Albanian comedy that beautifully captures the essence of youth, friendship, and the quiet struggles of rural life.

What makes this film stand out is its authenticity. The cinematography is rich with natural light and breathtaking landscapes, painting a raw but poetic image of the Albanian countryside. The performances by the cast of actors feel genuine and deeply emotional

Genius script! Positive vibes and endless laughter.. it's all masterfully blended between nostalgia and social commentary, giving viewers a window into a forgotten era, yet with themes that remain timeless-hope, sacrifice, and the bond of true friendship.

I personally loved it! Will watch again!

It is a very cozy and entertaining movie, packed with hilarious moments and endearing, goofy characters that make it a joy to watch. It offers a heartwarming and humorous glimpse into southern Albanian culture, with a lovely representation of traditional songs, customs, and lively celebrations. The film successfully blends comedy with cultural authenticity, creating this way an atmosphere that feels both familiar and festive. Whether you are looking to laugh or to enjoy a taste of Albania's rich musical and social traditions, this film delivers a delightful and truly memorable experience. Highly recommend.

Well done! Impressed with the chimistry, flow of the movie, character build ups, pace etc.

Everybody in their life has met at least once a Leme, a Luli, Goni or Sarà so their storylines felt familiar, also organically well writen and acted. Personally loved the couple Sara Goni and found myself wishing to see more of those 2 involved with each other. People Were laughing throughout the whole movie but also there were some strong messages involved, especially from Sara's character whom Fjoralba captured impressively good. Her esence, smartness, burdens, shyness and also her wild spirit embodied, but to be honest all 4 actors did and amazing job. Truly loved the movie and I highly recommend.

This is a truly beautiful and well-crafted film that captures your attention from the very beginning and keeps you entertained throughout. Every scene is thoughtfully connected, creating a smooth, cohesive flow that makes the story easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. The pacing is just right-never too fast, never too slow-and the humor is spot-on. You'll find yourself laughing from one moment to the next, thanks to clever dialogue, funny situations, and great timing from the cast. The performances are strong, the direction is sharp, and the overall atmosphere is light and uplifting. It's the kind of movie that leaves you in a good mood and makes you want to watch it again. A perfect choice if you're looking for something fun, smart, and heartwarming.

Very nice film with clever humor, with events that have happened to us and continue to happen in Albania. I understand that Leme, being a single mother is very protective and therefore she acts stubborn and decides everything for her son so that what might have happened to her does not happen to him. Fjoralba is like a good part of women in Albania, who are young and the family decides her fate without asking her, simply because a man can have money and lives abroad. Luli is the personification of boys who are neglected by the family or society where they live, grow up without the care of their parents and then are then bullied. And the solution then, as for everything in Albania, is to flee this country. Goni is a mother's son, whose mother controls him for everything and will not let him do the things he wants. But in the end he understands that he must become his own master and do what his heart dictates. And then we have a train car full of other characters who not only give us picture of Albanian society but also better highlight the journey on which the characters of the film travel. And with all these ingredients mixed, comes the best thing that has never been shown in cinema, an albanian film full of humor that never slows down until the end. Even when the end credits come out. We have a small scene that is the cherry on top. Simply the best film that comes from Albania. Glad it came to Europe for us other albanians to see it.

Bravo!
