This one is watchable on free-access CINEPUB website, at 2021.

Nothing wrong with a smaller canvas, if you fill it well. Romanian movies often give the impression that there's Bucharest - and then there's the rest. On this occasion, there's less success attached to the Bucharest writer returning to his hometown, than meets the eye initially. The long cafe scene drags a bit, but Cohn brings it home well, and his final "reveal" is done in a charmingly self-deprecating way. Realistic and astute.

The first impression was that is was another lousy movie about the poor east-European space. I have been fed up with stories about the past / current status of my home country. Point. No. The story - screenplay - which is fabulously compact and has an intrigue which is entirely credible. Andi Vasluianu, Alexandru Papadopol, along with the extrardinary performances of Ioana Flora and Mirela Oprisor are so natural! A movie that I surely would have missed easily thinking about how things are going in Romania and what people demand to watch. Great script, A+ directing, very good performances from the actors. Plus the initial cameo of great Florin Zamfirescu- sorry for initial miss.

All the movie so real in life. Very good playing of all actors. Especially, the foarte. Likely, eastern Europeans would enjoy it. I really, really like it. Even the way Petrica was acting, his voice, attitude ... I was to know he is gonna beat the guy. Acted so real. Bravo!

The movie looks like a 15 minutes script that had to be made a long movie.It's just sooo boring. One of the worst movies I had the bad luck to see.
