Taximetristi

The actors are really great. In some parts you can see they play a part, but in smaller roles nothing major. The dialogue feels natural, small parts where it seems scripted. The plot is really interesting. It's also funny I laughed a lot. To be honest it's a lot better than I expected. The only issue I had is that I wanted more of it. I think the industry in Romania just gets better and better.

I didnt mind the swearing, It s a reality we live in, people swear a lot. A lot of movies have a lot of swears not only Romanian productions, so I think people who talk badly about this movie should start watching Disney Channel and stop complaining.

I also liked the story, It was cohesive and well tought.

I will give it a 9/10 just because It felt a little scripted at times. But if you compare it with Teambuilding this one is a 10/10.

A good movie, not a great one, but a good one. Some characters are strong and the actors that protraied them did their job. The story is pretty good, some slices of what happens in the city at night, with happiness and sadness, with joy and anger, love and hate, it's all there. For some of them it could have done a bit more, to offer a context, or to find out what happened next, but in the end, as a taxi driver, this is exactly what you see: take people from point A to point B, drop them off and that's it. You go back to your live, you don't know what happend to the ones you travelled with. Good job!

This movie is a slice of life story following two cab Bucharest cab drivers. The main characters are very well fleshed out and you can clearly see them evolve as they encounter various customers, each with their own life lesson to impart. The dialogues are well written and the type of humour is coarse but intelligently done. The story is bleak as it focuses on the fact that the working class is left with no means of getting a strong financial foothold under a rampant capitalism that splits people into dupes and bosses who know how to make money on the backs of the dupes. The movie is beautifully shot and I want to salute the presence of Micutzu here.

Why is the movie so high rated? Just because it shows really well our reality that most of viewers live in?

• "Funny"

I barely smiled twice with no laughing at all the entire movie. It is supposed to be a comedy. Some other users said they were crying. I have absolutely no clue why. There is a somehow sad part, but I've seen muuuuuuuuch better emotions presented in a lot of other movies.

• "Made me cry"

Spoiler-free, what happens "sad" in the end is a very childish situation based on lack of communication between 2 characters. All main characters are over 30 years old. I am in my 20s and can still say they were childish discussions.

• Lack of a story

The movie is more like a collection of little stories. More than half of the script is based on 2 taxi drivers having some car rides that do not lead anywhere.

• Lack of character development

• "It is extremely realistic"

First of all, it is your reality. In mine, there is extremely few swearing. Secondly, so what it is realistic? Seen so many movies and series with realistic events that made me feel something. This movie just made me disappointed for losing my time.

Throughout the entire film, you can clearly tell that the script was adapted from a theater play. The main focus is on character-to-character interaction.

In a world (country) full of movies made solely for cheap laughs (some good laughs ngl), this film has a unique and brave take, attempting to exert different feelings than the Romanian audience is familiar with.

The film has a bittersweet vibe, showcasing very real-life, relatable scenarios. Many people from different backgrounds may identify themselves or, at the very least, empathize with certain characters.

It is true that the film could have been executed better, however I still gave an 8/10 for braveness and the unique take it provides.
