Don't open the door...

In Romania many childhood stories are being told to children so they get scared enough not to open the door to strangers, not to walk away with strangers, walk straight home from school, listen to your mother etc.

This movie kept the story line 100%. As scary and creepy as it is, nothing was left out. As I watched, I was thinking to myself "they won't show THAT"...but they did. Maia and Marius played their roles beautifully. The sorrow romanian music gets under your skin, making you feel the pain and tears of the mother. The youngest boy is so sweet and looks so innocent. Absolutely beautiful.

Just like I've pictured it when I was a kid

So glad to see someone had the guts to put this otherwise horrible "kids tale" into picture. Maia Morgenstern is at the highest of her abilities here, playing the widowed "Goat". But sure enough, the story wasn't about any "goat" or "wolf", as wolves do not eat "sarmale". I always considered this story was not for the kids. My kids will only discover this story now that they are adults, as I chose not to tell them this story when they were young.

Hats down to the director, who managed to show me they had the same mental images as those I've pictured when I was a kid. Difficult backgrounds we have to deal with :-)
