Fekete pont

You could get PTSD from it - it contains all the oppressive atmosphere of schools, along with the misery of Hungarian schools. Incompetent teachers, bureaucracy, rejection (or even punishment) of any deviation from the rules. The better teachers are oppressed or fired, while the bad ones protect each other. The principal doesn't care what's going on - if someone asks for help or even just advice, they're brushed off. Some of the parents are problematic too. There's injustice toward the kids, they're humiliated. They're forced to memorize completely pointless stuff. (And it even brought up that thing I used to always use as an example - that stigma-whatever thing...)

The film is good - actually, very good. But at the end, you might be expecting a resolution, some kind of revelation about what the problem is, where the problem is, who's at fault, whether there will be any accountability... but there isn't. The film shows reality, and in reality, there's no happy ending. The guilty hide, there's no accountability, if someone has a problem nobody gives a damn, and those who want change have no way to make it happen.

Lesson Learned is an extremely funny movie about the Hungarian education system, but only about the negatives.

The writing is amazing. Most of the situations are sadly realistic, but they are presented in a hilarious way at times. I expected a devastating movie, with a lot of negativity, but what I got instead was a film full of jokes and funny scenes. The dialogues were realistic, it rarely felt forced, which isn't usual for a Hungarian movie. The characters were well-written, but it was frustrating to see how neither of the protagonists could stand up for themselves. My two problems with the movie were that we see Palkó's mother in the beginning, but she disappeares for the rest of the movie. The other one was that all these bad things are highly unlikeable to happen at the same time.

The directing was amazing and the cinematography was perfect. A lot of closeups and wide shots were extremely well-done. The acting performances were surprisingly great considering the fact that the movie focused a lot on young children.

Lesson Learned is a hilarious movie about an important issue, I loved it.

Seems like a harmless movie but under the surface it's really depressing, sad and frustrating. I would like to say it's just fiction, but sadly I have so many similar memories from my childhood and not much has changed during the last decades.

This is like a manual how to ruin small children and shape them into the "perfect" citizen who obeys, asks no questions and supports the system.

The system without empathy. (Just look at the parents, they are the perfect example.) The system that doesn't want to solve the real problems, just hide them. That kicks out the ones who are thinking different or who needs help.

This movie is about the Hungarian elementary school system and its inflexibility. During this it gives also a detailed picture about the current Hungarian society.

I have two sons currently studying at elementary schools and the picture presented by the movie is extremely correct. The excellent teatcher who gets fired because of some political stuff, the old ladies gossiping in the teatchers room, the autocratic headmaster, the handywork teatcher who can not operate a computer etc. The movie also has a lot of funny moments, tragic but at the same time funny.. However I found it rather sad, because my older son got bullied and cathegorized as a black sheep by the teatchers in his previous schools. They got rid of him after 6 months. So I couldn't laugh. The actors performances are very good, considering many of them are children or just amateurs. Its a movie worth watching.

Hi, As someone from Hungary with German heritage, I found Feketepont almost eerily relatable-like watching fragments of my own history unfold on screen. The film's plot is picture-perfect, capturing the nuances of identity, cultural heritage, and the weight of personal history with an authenticity that hits deep.

Beyond its storytelling, the cinematography is striking, creating an atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. The performances feel raw and real, making the characters' struggles all the more compelling. Whether you connect with the themes personally or not, Feketepont is a film that stays with you. Highly recommended!
