Entre valles

A poorly written movie that is, ultimately, a road to nowhere. The rave reviews from some critics are obviously praising the movie simply because of where it was made.

The problem with "Intregalde" is that it constantly compels us to make decisions while watching the people on the screen make their decisions, theirs and my are mostly not the same. This is not an easy task. You start to hate every one of the four main characters for a while until you stop because one of the others suddenly begins to get on your nerves too. This all is part of the story.

The other problem is that film critics seem to have a hard time to decribe the film. While I was waiting in the cinema for the film to start, I heard people sitting next to me discuss if this is going to be a horror movie or not! It is far from that though it plays with our fears. Our "heroes" are plain normal people and once the got stuck in every sense of the word, they begin to behave illogical. I really don't want to say too much about it because not to know what is going to happen is so important. Please check it out for yourself!

The movie tells the story of 3 friends stuck in the muds of helping secluded villagers somewhere in Romania (although this could happen anywhere).

The director and screenwriters have the grace not to force anything. The people are real, what happens is real, the dialogue is real and beautifully deliverd by the actors. For Romanians, the dialogue is especially savory as it's perfectly mirroring how we speak to one another.

The character of Kente is very well assimilated into the screenplay. We can feel that the "actor" was directed to bring himself into the story and that is both surprising and delightful.

The film is a comedy although no jokes are made. It's also a drama.

The creators shed no judgment on what happens and leave their audience with a lot of things to ponder upon.

Lovely, lovely film!

I have no problems with people disliking this film, what is the problem for me is when people just give a film a 1.

For me, for a film to get a 1, it would contain amateurish acting, a script that goes nowhere, poorly framed shots, bad editing, be poorly lit and characters you don't care about.

The ending of the film summarizes it. The director doesn't care about the characters and neither do you.

Waste of time and gas of not so bad actors...what a pity to waste resources of an already suffering terminal disease of the state owned system of producing ....kind of movies...sad!
