Taximetristi

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.

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!

I really appreciate the effort that the Romanian cinema production and all this industry implies does the last years. This one is a major failure! Worst by far!!!! Wasting time!

The short, each client story's supposed to be funny, but are not. Three times, parts are freezing on some boring dialogue with no ending. I don't know customers or taxi drivers, both way's, that could stand/accept such attitude or way to talk to someone. So by all means this should be catalogued as Sci/Fi drama and definitely not a comedy. Inspired by true stories from the taxi drivers and Bucharest nightlife? Come on, please!! Get lost Theo....dore!!!

This movie will make much more sense for the people who know a bit more about the hood life in Bucharest. I personally know people talking exactly like the taxi drivers in the movie.

It's a real emotional rollercoaster - you can go from laughing to crying in a time span as shot as a few minutes. Some of the scenes presented in the movie are so realistic that I could easily relate to them.

It's definitely not a 10. Not an Oscar-worthy movie. But I did give it a 10 for encouragement, as it's one of the best Romanian movies that hit the theatres in the last couple of years. Hopefully, it will raise the bar for Romanian movies.

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.
