    Horrible actors

    I'm okay with the story, but the timeline is slow. The actors are not professionals.

    A PPOLITICAL ROPAGANDA MOVIE!!!

    So sad, that millions of Euros were used from hungarian public funds to create such a motion picture filled with lies and inaccuracy about a hungarian historical event during 2006.

    It is also a shame that both the director and the director of photography are not hungarians which is to show that this is a political propaganda movie that is fiction. Hungarian filmmakers are very known in the movie industry with couple of Oscars to confirm it but this movie is so overrated trying to convince the hungarian audience that it is a non-fiction.

    I was there in Budapest during the 2006 political demonstrations and after watching the movie for free of course I had that terrible feeling about how the current hungarian political party in power is using all means necessary to brainwash hungarian people by creating propaganda movies.

    In Hungary at the moment the government is an autocratic regime trying to silence all opposition parties and using every tool to stay in power. This movie also shows that it has nothing to do with artistic filmmaking but to favor the hungarian ruling government by creating a propaganda cinema!!!

    Political propaganda piece releases just ahead of elections.

    The acting is terrible, the script is horrendous, the whole thing was made with russian money to prop up the fidesz regime for one more term so they can finally completely turn our country in to a dictatorship. Funny how this was shown for free in movie theaters and the turnout was way below expectations, so now they conveniently release it on state TV, which still spews verbatim russian propaganda, just a month before election. On the same state TV that will not give any time for opposition politicians, but will always gladly show orban roll around acting like he's doing good for the country, meanwhile he and his cronies managed to steal so much that the country is nearing economic collapse. They keep beating the drum about how we live better than ever before. I guess that's why they had to mandate a price-freeze on basic groceries. Inflation is getting to a point where people are having trouble affording groceries.

    I've never seen something more disgusting in my life, and I'm ashamed to be a hungarian.

    Worst movie ever, prepared on political request

    Disgusting film, propaganda from the worst dictatorship in the EU.

    Content 0, actors 0, director is less than 0, the story is also 0.

    Waste of time.

    After watching an animated show about sibilings this is still worst.

    I have watched two movies/series this week. One is this movie and another or a series. The amount of effor went into this movie is horrible. The acting is horrible and feels like I am watching a Brazil soap opera the After watching an animated show about sibilings this is still worst. Go watch Arcane from Netflix! It's great compared to this dump!

    • Trivia
      The original Hungarian title, "Elk*rtuk" (with a censored "ú") translates to "We F*cked Up". It's a quote from a leaked recording of the infamous Öszöd speech, in which then-prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány told his party members that they have lied to the Hungarian population for years.
