I understand what the director was trying to do. I understand all of it. But it doesn't make it good. Maybe if I was a pretentious critic who... s this movie because it is foreign and under the radar. This movie had no conflict and watching a man stand around and eat his dinner isn't making a *************** called bad filmmaking. Anyone who in their right mind would not find this movie entertaining. Nothing happens the whole movie and I'm not exaggerating. It's hands down the most boring movie I've ever seen. Nobody should see this and Romania should not be allowed to make movies ever again. Full Review

Vcmdre..I only wish I had read your review before I went. I don't believe there is a movie out there that is this bad.

"Thrilling"? Is watching paint dry compelling? "The power of visuals" ? More like the force of ambiem. I want my 2 hours and... ney back. Really, bad. Save yourself! Full Review

Porumboiu is one of the few helmers working today who so completely understands both the power of language and the power of visuals.Full Review

Variety
The usual emphasis in a detective film is upended so that procedure, thrillingly, is more important than action. In its own way, this is one of the most intense cop movies you'll see.Full Review

This cunning and provocative Romanian film requires patience, but its rewards are many: It's hard to imagine how a scene in which a police captain barks an order to bring him a dictionary can be loaded with suspense, but, really, it is.Full Review

A clever, exceedingly wonky procedural about a undercover cop (Dragos Bucur) who quietly refuses to do what he’s told.Full Review
