Golata istina za grupa Zhiguli

"The Naked Truth About Zhiguli Band" is a right mix between musical and drama with some funny lines coming from the comedy greats Dimitar Rachkov, Gerasim Georgiev - Gero and Philip Avramov. The highlight of the movie is the theme song which concludes the storyline: "I want a role", while the other tracks bring in these special rock vibes from 30 years ago. Moreover, the leading roles and characters of Mihail Bilalov, Irini Jambonas and Lilia Maravilya have amazing chemistry together and this surely led to a number of well-delivered dramatic scenes during the climax of the film. To sum up, the movie has good quality, the storyline is simple but the actors and the songs create the real lovely value that it has!

This is for certain the best Bulgarian film I've seen in recent years, if not the last decade. Fun and with great acting!

It is a wink to an era and a generation, but you don't need to be a part of it to understand it or enjoy it. Such a nice surprise, even the trailers looked good, but I missed it when it was in cinemas, so am happy to have seen it now.

Most surprising was the music, actually - great songs with accurate texts and most of them quite catchy.

Every department did their part, but the biggest stat was the dialogue - so natural and real-life, something that often kills BG movies, but here it made all the difference.

This is a very emotional movie filled with great actors and performances.

It serves as a commentary on the state of Bulgarian music but it showcases the struggle of musicians in general.

Like a lot of Bulgarian movies, it uses nostalgia and the theme of cultural change from communism to democracy but it's done really tastefully.

I think it pays homage to other movies, like "Orkestar Bez Ime" but it's vastly different from it.

My only complaint is that it felt short on some story threads and character development.

Overall - a great movie.

It's bearable, lot's of missed opportunities, but overall it's not that cringy.

Very good! Very good! Very good! I like it! This film took me back in time, to my good youth.
