J'espère que tu crèveras la prochaine fois!

I normally watch action movies in the cinema and others at home. Something told me that this drama/thriller is worth watching in the cinema - and boy, was I right.

The teen girls in the row behind me were giggling throughout the pre-movie commercials, but their laughs died a few minutes into RLSM. The film grabbed the whole screening room's attention and did not let go till the very end. The director had a great sense when to release the tension a bit and let the room laugh. Overall, this is a very well made, authentic movie with a gripping and relevant story. I was wondering the streets listening to the film's soundtrack (look up RLSM on Spotify) for hours afterwards, immersed in the movie's world. Which, you realise, is the real world.

From the very beginning, it felt like a very basic story. A certain twist made it a little more interesting halfway through, but still it was barely more than yet another meaningless teen love story. The execution didn't make it special either, there's nothing remarkable about the way it was shot, or the dialogue. Apart from the main character girl, everybody felt plastic and one-dimensional. As someone who speaks Hungarian, I found the unnatural intonation distracting and some of the support acting was also really bad. The conclusion was anti-climactic and it's really unclear what this movie was trying to be about. Both the good and the bad deeds of the characters remained inconsequential.

The only basic virtue is its realism. A story about teenagers, from the passion of a student for her teacher to the obsession of a colegii about her. The vad thing is the absence of message and the predactibility. A hivh Scholl story, Nice, dramatic, familiar but not convincing.

I'm a big fan of foreign movies. I've run into this one accidentally. I can't really say I'm happy with how it ended, since there were weird turns since the beginning. Predictable plot at some point. There are other good movies to watch. The acting was also disappointing, but a good thriller nonetheless.

Let me first say that I am a great fan of Hungarian cinema. There are many good Hungarian moves, even great ones. This one is not one of them, it has some potential in the start, but the plot gets flimsy really fast.

The acting is OK, even though the actors are not famous (at least I haven't seen them in any other movies) Directing is pretty good too, you can feel the atmosphere, the story is delivered with a good pace, making the movie watchable at least.

But the scenario is unrealistic, full of holes, much of the plot is forced. Ending is also somehow lacking. I don't recommend it, except as a Hungarian lesson, as there is lot of useful slang / easy sentences.
