Buba

Loved it.

Usually (read not often) i do not tend to see movies in other then English or Dutch spoken movies... I liked this one. With the chapters and all it seamed like a Quinten Tarantino movie. Also had a great laugh at hilarious weard situations of this film.

It deserves the eight i gave. 🙌🏼

This is a fabulous orgy of weird and wonderful characters in a bizarre tale that is tragic yet hypnotic. A unique idea told very well with some funny moments and great cinematography.

Its normal movie with light comedy, but the story is not reliable as some scene not understandable.

But generally you can watch the movie if you have extra time and nothing to do.

Buba is a refreshing change from the usual barrage of foreign films that Netflix adds to its catalogue every year, with the scripts and performances of the latter being very one note.

Buba however immediately holds your attention from the very first scene, huge thanks in part to the lead actor who gives off a very likeable and charming persona and also has great comic timing. He reminds me a lot of French actor Gerard Derpedaeu from the 80s-90s You instantly start rooting for his down on his luck character to succeed.

Another thing I liked about the film is that it smartly avoided any gratuitous sex scene or even implied ones. There is a love interest for our main character but verges more on a Platonic affair that is more appealing emotionally to the audience.

However, the film really starts losing momentum by the time it reaches the 3rd act and seems to be in a rush to somehow patch up all the plot points they had introduced earlier without properly concluding them.

But despite its flaws, Buba provided amicable entertainment for a 1 time watch.

I watched it for 51 minutes, then I just couldn't endure it any more. Too boring, too many repetitions.

The actors are great, the settings awesome, the costumes rock, but the story ... what is it? Who cares?

What do the characters want? Go to Disneyland? Well go or don't go, I couldn't care less.

None of it matters.

Funny moustaches and trashy track suites just aren't enough to keep me entertained.

The tempo is so slow, I thought it was a series, at fierst.
