Saw the movie a few days ago and is the only reason I've joined IMDb. There are many bad movies around but "Sieranevada" was by far the worst I've seen this year. If one didn't know the director's work one could imagine this is the attempt of a first time amateur who was irresponsibly given the money and the freedom to make a movie as he wishes.
In this case also the producers failed to stop Cristi Puiu's verbal and visual incontinence. 2h 53 min, 20 mins longer than "Apocalypse now" (!) out of which about 2h 30 min of irrelevant chattering devoid of any drama. 5 minutes of filming at the corner of a street before the title appears! This movie could've been cut down to 30 mins (if not 15) and the action wouldn't have suffered at all.
If movie lovers want to see an excellent movie about a similar family gathering they can see the Danish "Festen" or "After the wedding". "Sieranevada" is a waste of time.
