    Fairytale solutions to real-life disasters

    I admit there's always some sort of cultural disconnect when watching a foreign movie, but something about this movie felt so wrong.

    A lot of redundancy and incoherent characters only help worsen the story that already suffers from the writer plague of finding a solution to a problem that millions of people are struggling with. The dialogues are meant to go deep but just fall very short of achieving that purpose and instead sound unnatural and broken, and the director seems to have a very superficial approach to storytelling that highlights every other issue.

    I'm sorry to say it felt like a drag at points where I had to skip some scenes, so overall, just a mediocre watching experience. Such a shame of wasted potential.

    All over the place, slow and boring

    Couldve been better if the real issue was presented. I fell asleep after 30 mins so i have to rewind and yet still not getting the whole point of the movie. It would be nice to hear them use the Lithuanian language instead of English.. A lot closer to "Label Me" but Label Me was far better and high quality with the direction, storytelling and acting..

    Touching

    The movie about minorities among minorities. Touching scenes, unexpected turns of plot. I had to feel and survive a lot while watching it. And it reached some deep places of mine. Makes you smile, cry, wish and support.

    Fascinating!Real!Beautiful!

    I highly recomend! Even though I personally could not recognise a strong central point, but there were many interesting aspects and juxtapositions of a great value In this film. It was a warm film with closely observable and felt feelings and emotions. Sincere.

    Nice try!

    At least they find a solution (not very realistic) to end the film, i appreciate that, but like other reviews, this film is not strong enough to built up anything, lack of chemistry, poor connected, no main idea, not a love story but not into others side, there another same subject movie call "No hard feeling" and it very good in everything, if you'd seen it you would known where this film should going.
