Loverboy

One of the worst movies i've ever seen. I understand that this movies don't have good budget but that doesn't explain the bad script,poor dialog, the awful end and stupid story. I don't get why people make movies if they don't have a good plot for it. It's a wanna be realistic movie but honestly a movie have to be nice and the scenes must have a nice background to make somebody want to watch. This movie hurts my eyes and my ears...the music. I was just stupefied and watched it to see how bad Romanian movies are. So please, don't watch this and don't give it good reviews just cause it's a Romanian movie. After I saw it my first though was...God,I gotta write a good script to make a nice Romanian movie

This may sound as a defence against other reviews that may not understand the life in the country that this movie was produced. A movie doesn't have to be nice or have nice backgrounds. A movie needs to convey a message, this movie represents the reality in wich prostitution is born in Romania, it is not supposed to be nice, it is ugly, sad, desolate. The scenes are dirty, resembling poor villages, people in the lower class of society, bad music and desperate humans. I don't expect the western culture to understand it but saying it is bad because it is doing and showing what it was supposed to do and show is just wrong. It is a great movie? No. Absolutely not. Is it a good movie to take a peak inside the horrible process of prostitution that starts in the poor villages of Romania? (the manipulation, the blindness to danger in full sight, emotional blackmailing and more) yes. The movie was low budget and part of a campaign against human trafficking in Romania.

I won't leave a bad review just because I needed to watch a documentary about sex-trafficking with a silly happy ending so my sleep won't get disturbed by something that I can't process and manage properly.

Well, I can go beyond all those ridiculous expectations and notice the forgotten taste of noir where bad dudes and gorgeous vamps made the world go round. But this movie goes even deeper than this: every scene is an oportunity to generate amazing visual poetry, to find the right angle and the right amount of light and turn the seemingly dull scenario into magic.

I'm not a fan of Romanian cinema but I begin watching it anyways, while asking myself how are they going to make an actual movie based on such a sinister and bleak reality. But they actually managed to create not only an interesting plot but also a strange and exotic world. I live in Transylvania and this type of setting couldn't be more exotic and unusual for me.

The movie has "that someting", it's charming and captivating. Despite the bad ending, the takeaway is substantial and the style is sophisticated which is a remarkable achievement for a movie about people with no academic background whatsoever.

I was expecting to see a serious film, full of specific action, human trafficking. But instead, I see the main character as most of the movie is riding either a scooter or a bicycle. In the meantime, he conquers some girls and leaves them in the hands of the bastards. But, it was the personal choice of the girls... The best and most natural is Remus Margineanu in the role of Toader, the father of the girl.

I liked it very much. Directed and edited in a style much different from the one offered by Hollywood movies, deals concrete problems of life. It's a good lesson for young naive women, who under the influence of a burning passion, can take wrong decisions, from which will suffer all their life. It is also a good opportunity to see things from parent's perspective - who opposed some of our decisions sometimes and we just couldn't understand them. "How can be wrong when I KNOW and I FEEL it's good? Parents just don't understand!!" Well, this movie shows you very clearly how something we felt it was perfectly good, can be awfully wrong...
