Toata lumea din familia noastra

This is indeed a well made dark comedy. Although the subject is very serious and the action is dramatic in the end, the dialogs are so hilarious that you can't hold yourself and burst into laughing. You also have the chance to see in secondary roles some of the most respected Romanian actors of the last decades. I am talking about Mihai's parents (Alexandu Arsinel and Stela Popescu) and especially Tamara Buciuceanu-Botez as "the badger", playing the old mother is law of the main character. The movie treats a very serious subject, of a dysfunctional family, custody and impact over minors. But it seems to me the authors just wanted to jeopardize life and problems and it succeeds with such humour! A last mention is Gabriel Spahiu as Aurel, the "replacement" father for Mihai. He is the funniest guy. He plays brilliantly the role of an accountant, responsible and loving stepfather, delicate to his gf/wife, but in fact he is a coward, doesn't even know to throw a punch and ends up lamenting pathetically. Watched it on TIFF festival in Cluj-Napoca.

Murphy's Law movie: Everything that could go wrong, did. I get that everything revolves around short-fuse yelling and being violent but everyone was just great...especially the little girl, who by the end got even younger because of the events that happened around her.

Pavlu was just made for this role. He balances that loser-psychopath line very well, a frustrated man whose patience has reached an end. A man who wants dignity but on his own terms, not others. He was like that all his life...just as shown by the scene with his parents.

It might have gotten a bit repetitive but it was, in the end, a good overly-dramatic romanian film.

The acting is good, but the movie is too violent, I didn't enjoy watching it. I lost 1.5 hours and now I have a bad mood, I need to watch something else.

It's all about family in this movie. Not only one, but what can happen when things do not go as planned. The director present at the screening of this movie in Berlin at the Festival was keen to make a lot of jokes, which came as no surprise as the movie is very much a comedy (even if it is a very dark one).

The actors are really good in it and the story does concentrate on one location mainly. And this is important because this was shot on location, which made it very difficult for the crew and the cast of course. But that also means, that it is terrific work by the DP of the movie. Smooth and nice shots and even when they decided to use a take, where you can clearly see a cell phone ringing but not hear it (for obvious distracting reasons, story-wise), you are not too mad at the movie. Or you shouldn't be. Watch it, if you have no problem with Un-PC behavior and lots of dialogue!

This "movie" adds nothing to the art of cinema, it overreacts just for the sake of overreacting and it's like a show for a voyeur. It was made just to serve the PC movement like all the movies of this.. Jude "director"
