I like a good romcom like anyone else however, once again, as I've seen in other Polish movies, this one doesn't quite translate into my culture or language. It's as if Poland is in between two cultures, western and eastern. Is that the case? If you've seen other Polish movies, you might understand what I mean. First of all, I can detect a certain dismissive behavior in the males toward the females that comes off as a bit chauvinistic. Is that really what's happening, I don't know, so I write it off as being lost in translation. But it is present in films produced by certain cultures (that are not pro female) that I don't think Poland shares ideologies with. That's why I feel I'm misinterpreting the body language. Also, some of the mannerisms and behaviors don't make sense to me. I noticed this on several occasions. I'm not sure what to make of this, considering films made in countries like Turkey, Spain, France and Germany all seem to translate well and are fully entertaining.
Unfortunately, this movie exhibits many amateurish tells that I'm not interested in criticizing or nitpicking, other than to say as a whole it's is below average in many ways. The English dubbing was decent for the little boy and the lead female, but the rest were low quality, what I deem old style dubbing, like those old voiceovers that were so bad, the audience would laugh at the obvious bad timing and inaccurate translations.
The lead actress is exquisite, so I hope to see her in other films as soon as possible.
