Cheeky yet subtle, it is a movie that adresses not only the generation who are making their first step into a real-life-intimacy. It speaks to everyone who seeks to soberly perceive their own deeds in a relationship. No scandals, but outspoken and fun!

Watching the movie I found myself deeply relating to the plot and the characters. The basic (basic in a very positive way) looks of the actors (Csilla Radnay as Fanni & Lehel Kovács as Bálint), the support characters' view on how a relationship should progress as per norms (like the parents constantly bringing up marriage and kids) had and effect on me like I was looking in the mirror. The film is mainly revolving around the concept of duality: the need of stability versus the need of novelty, and how the different set of interests can get a relationship out of balance. Five years in, it is normal to feel comfortable, to slowly loose interest in each other. What gives it a twist is the different attitude of the couples towards novelty and therefore in occasions cheating. The end did slow down a bit but the story itself still managed to keep me excited and to make me take a deep look at myself and for me that's the characteristic of a 10/10 movie.

It was a boring movie. Bad actors... bad director... :( The characters were not invented. The story is silly. If you want to sleep for 1.5 hours then go into the cinema and watch this movie. Gábor Kálomista is a very bad director.

There is nothing new about the topic of the movie. The lust after a person you have just discovered works like a drug on you, but then, as time passes, things calm down, and your sexual desires will definitely change, even if they do not go away completely. Fanni (played by Csilla Radnay) sets up a graph based on the frequency, and intensity of their sexual interactions with his boyfriend, Bálint (Lehel Kovács), and after five years of the relationship the negative trend is quite obvious. So what can you do about it? The answers given by the creators of the movie are quite standard ones, no great surprises there. But the movie, especially the first hour of it, has some strengths that make it worth watching. Most of the opening scenes are quite funny, and they are not overdone. The dialogue is realistic, the lines are OK, and again, some of them are really funny, too. The protagonists (especially Lehel Kovács), and most of the supporting characters are good. Unfortunately, Bori Péterfy does not have any strong lines, but all the Bori fans are compensated with some kinky eye candy. The second half of the movie slows down unfortunately; some of the scenes seem unnecessary towards the end, and you get the feeling that the film could have been shorter by around 10 minutes or so.

Thoroughly enjoyable film about the pitfalls of modern relationships - giving me food for thought. Characters are relatable and very likable in their quest to maneuver the depths of monogamy. Very outspoken - may make you blush - but great dialogue.
