All I can say is wow. Never in my life i felt something soo real and gut wrenching while watching a movie. Pro choice always!!
Grim and bleak. It feels like an old, a very old story - told between generations - that's been updated for its setting.
Depressing but purposeful. I feel like so many movies try to do their version of this story and it’s never as goof
A brilliant picture of the communist era in Romanian. The struggle and the psychological horrors of the topic staged in such a simple form.
Feels like we're watching something we're not supposed to watch. It shows real-life horrors that happen every day in the shadows
Emotional, thought provoking, and disturbing drama. Gets under your skin in a way movies should.
Great acting, very sensitive topic, great music and cinematography is so good
Tense, simple and beautiful. If you're a girl, I highly recommend it
One of the most powerful pieces of art to come from cinema in the last 20 years, a viewing experience that all people owe themselves.
Disturbing and strong. People who live in a 3rd class country will understand better.
