i totally liked this movie. not because it was good or bad but because it was the first Romanian movie that seemed to actually be a movie. the rest of Romanian movies seem to be theatrical plays that got caught on camera. and i could actually understand what they were saying because usually in Romanian movies the sound is so bad it makes you wish you had subtitles. so maybe this movie was not a subtle one, or a very hard to understand one, but it was definitely easy to watch( which is a big deal for a Romanian movie),close to reality ( unfortunately) and had some unforgettable lines that have became part of the popular culture. maybe if you are not Romanian you don't get what the big deal is, and why this movie is a big accomplishment and maybe it looks like other eastern European movies which would not be so surprising since we did kind of had he same history. but it is an important movie because it manages to be different: it's well directed, well filmed and it's entertaining! so hopefully the next Romanian films will only be better!
