Taximetristi

A good movie, not a great one, but a good one. Some characters are strong and the actors that protraied them did their job. The story is pretty good, some slices of what happens in the city at night, with happiness and sadness, with joy and anger, love and hate, it's all there. For some of them it could have done a bit more, to offer a context, or to find out what happened next, but in the end, as a taxi driver, this is exactly what you see: take people from point A to point B, drop them off and that's it. You go back to your live, you don't know what happend to the ones you travelled with. Good job!

This is no gem, no revelation, no world changer, not polished, no kind art, but also no fault.

The story is very Romanian in the cultural sense, there is no base line, it starts up, it goes down fast, then up, then down etc, and then in the end it goes really down, but then life continues, despite everything else.

Once in the story, which presents the fauna of nightlife for backside couches of taxis in Bucharest, one gets to de-bone each vertebrate in the same high-up vs low-down style of the coin and back-side situation. And it works, it feels a little short, with less of the background included, but it goes bullseye to the problems, the nature of people, the characters, and it obtains in the viewer, at least the one accepting the screen story, a real development.

Aiming for that base line, that one needs to put its life in balance.

I really appreciate the effort that the Romanian cinema production and all this industry implies does the last years. This one is a major failure! Worst by far!!!! Wasting time!

The short, each client story's supposed to be funny, but are not. Three times, parts are freezing on some boring dialogue with no ending. I don't know customers or taxi drivers, both way's, that could stand/accept such attitude or way to talk to someone. So by all means this should be catalogued as Sci/Fi drama and definitely not a comedy. Inspired by true stories from the taxi drivers and Bucharest nightlife? Come on, please!! Get lost Theo....dore!!!

The actors are really great. In some parts you can see they play a part, but in smaller roles nothing major. The dialogue feels natural, small parts where it seems scripted. The plot is really interesting. It's also funny I laughed a lot. To be honest it's a lot better than I expected. The only issue I had is that I wanted more of it. I think the industry in Romania just gets better and better.

I didnt mind the swearing, It s a reality we live in, people swear a lot. A lot of movies have a lot of swears not only Romanian productions, so I think people who talk badly about this movie should start watching Disney Channel and stop complaining.

I also liked the story, It was cohesive and well tought.

I will give it a 9/10 just because It felt a little scripted at times. But if you compare it with Teambuilding this one is a 10/10.

This movie will make much more sense for the people who know a bit more about the hood life in Bucharest. I personally know people talking exactly like the taxi drivers in the movie.

It's a real emotional rollercoaster - you can go from laughing to crying in a time span as shot as a few minutes. Some of the scenes presented in the movie are so realistic that I could easily relate to them.

It's definitely not a 10. Not an Oscar-worthy movie. But I did give it a 10 for encouragement, as it's one of the best Romanian movies that hit the theatres in the last couple of years. Hopefully, it will raise the bar for Romanian movies.
