Ramon

Well, I finally watched a Romanian movie without feeling that I lost hours from my life.

With a low budget, you can actually have a great movie if you have the right director, script and actors. A beautiful mix of romance, humor, some action and great soundtracks are making this movie a must see.

Also, if you are not Romanian, you can easily take a sneak peak to Bucharest at night, majestically recorded from the ground and air.

Final conclusion, great movie with great actors and a smart script! We should see more often something like this from the Romanian movie industry. Its not a must for every Romanian movie (except this one) to have lots of dirty words in it.

An easy watch with a lot of different sides to it. A mix of romance, comedy and action. Its best attribute is that it never takes itself too seriously. The blend of actors, both professional and amateurs is quite natural. The dialogue, unlike most Romanian movies, is understandable and witty. Compared to productions like "Teambuilding", the humour is not as low-brow and it contains subtle satire. The soundtrack is quite original and it elevates the scenes more than usual, giving them almost a holiday feeling. The cinematography is discrete and does not rely on excessive filters to induce a mood. All in all, one of the good Romanian movies that appeared in the last year along with "Weddings, christenings and funerals"

Oh wooowww !!!!! Well what a movie !

This is such an unexpected movie !

I liked so so so much !

Congratulations to the team 👏

It is the most successful Romanian film among those that have appeared recently.

It has exceptional cursiveness, great actors, beautiful songs, everything was just perfect and so nice to watch.

I cried at the end because was so emotional..

Keep going Pavel Bartos and the whole team.

Can't wait the next movie !

It has to be part 2... with Sonia together demonstrating to the others that true love does exist.

It was a pleasure to see all the good actors together and also recognise them.

The script had a lot of potential to be a decent, lighthearted comedy.

Sadly, almost every aspect of cinematography that went into making the movie was terrible.

The most glaring issue that bothered me is the scenography and costume design.

It's like the people responsible for it have never seen, for example, a romanian country-side home and people. Instead they put together what looks like museum sets, where everything is perfectly placed and there is no authenticity. The clothes all look brand new bought from Zara.

Casting is terrible too, nobody fits their role at all, the "peasants" all look like corporate hipsters, the "bum" looks like the richest bum ever with perfect figure, hair, eyebrows, makeup, teeth...

Acting is pretty terrible too. There is an attempt to play some caricatural character like Ramon and his cousin, but the actors/directors don't really commit to the portrayal so what ends up coming through is half/half. Half caricature half serious, and neither works at all, it just feels forced and cringey.

The only saving grace seems "Gargaritza" who's the only good casting choice, in my opinion, and does a decent job portraying the self centered, yoga practicing vegan hip girl who faints at the sight of meat.

All in all, this feels more like a Youtube skit you put together with friends and an iphone, rather than an actual piece of cinema.

Oh and the constant and obvious product placement is annoying as hell too.

This is one of my favorite modern romanian movies. It's very easy to watch, accesibile to all ages, with a good pace, excellent writing and genuine local feel to it. In some ways, it marvelously captures the Romanian spirit. The actors are very convincing, natural and expressive.

The story sets of in a rural landscape, a vineyard, and continues for the rest of the movie in Bucharest, Romania's capital. For those who live here or know the place, it's quite cool to follow the main character as he wanders through the city.

It's a good comedy by any standard. Go watch it and you'll feel good about your movie choice.
