Copacul Dorintelor: Amintiri din Copilarie

I'm so glad that I've seen this movie with my 10 year old niece. However, since the sad story, I would advice parents to be careful if they have very sensible children, because this might affect them.

But the way the story was mingled with the harsh reality is amazing. They've done a great job with the story and writing of this movie. The musical score is much better than in most Romanian movies. The whole movie is a new experience and a breath of fresh air in Romanian cinema. It's new, it's beyond what it's normally done in Romania and it's good. The sound is good, which is something that always bothered me in Romanian movies. It is indeed very well made.

Even the actors play well, though they are not full time actors. Matei Dima and Cosmin Nedelcu only recently started in the movie industry and they're doing well so far. Stand-up Comedians mostly, but they're doing a great job.

As for Maya Prediger who plays Maia in the film, she was great! Played very very well!

All in all, a very good movie that I recommend every family to watch.

I have my movie lists and tried to find a place to put this according to the genre. While it obviously can go in the Adventure - Fantasy category, it can also fall in the Dramedy genre.
