Wild Men

I don't speak the language (like many, I presume), so I hesitated with Wild Men, fearing I'd spend the whole film reading subtitles, which usually means missing out on the acting, facial expressions, and other visual details. Here, however, I really felt that it was all working beautifully, undoubtedly thanks to a well paced script and editing. I had a great time and despite the farcical nature of a few of the scenes (some of which are truly hilarious), the underlying stories of the protagonists are much deeper than you'd expect from the trailer. In hindsight, I think a strength of this film is that it knits a story that uses original aspects of the region (and not only the stunning nature and folklore but also how people interact with each other) while at the same time exploring universal themes that, to me at least, made it not only enjoyable but also deeply contemplative at times. I'll definitely watch it again!

It's a really interesting look into what I think a lot of people may be feeling and experiencing these days. Very touching. Beautiful scenery. A bit of dark humor. Would watch again.

Just not that funny, and all a bit to "over the top".

It was way to stereotype, apart from the nature shots, I just simply didn't feel it.

Everything what was supposed to wrong, went wrong.

The acting wasn't superb, and the story itself wasn't something which attracted me.

It fails as a comedy, but as a drama its okay.

A few scenes make you smile, but mostly its just a drama. Could have been so much better.

You come into the movie where he already lives in the woods. Things leading up to his decision could have been extremely funny. But no.... three criminels have a car accident and one escapes into the woods and get found by the wildman. They stay together and get close, helping each other out from various situations.

If the movie is strictly a comedy it fails completely!

Its more a drama with a few somewhat funny scenes.

Absolutely loved this movie, beautifully shot with some stunning scenery and a story that rolls along and keeps you interested throughout. Although Martin, the main protagonist, is a bit of a giant loser it seems, the film takes him very seriously and his adventures with Musa who he meets by accident (literally) feel entirely within the boundaries of possibility.

It makes you laugh a lot as well as making you wince, the performances are uniformly good and it develops a real Fargo-like feel but without any homage or aping of that production. Even the chocolate box ending made sense in light of everything that goes before it and I came out of the cinema smiling, which is nice in these difficult times.
