Now or Never!

Now or Never (although it's supposed to be a spectacular historical epic with a big budget), fails to keep you engaged during its unduly long running time of over two hours.

It has its better moments, but these moments are overshadowed by serious dramaturgical errors, tragicomic events, tiresome formal solutions and largely boring characters based on archetypes. I feel sorry for the schoolchildren for whom this will be 'compulsory schooling'; it is certainly not for this reason that they will come to love Petofi, and it is certainly not for this reason that they will become interested in any historical events.

This money could have been put to a better use, and I'm very sorry to see that smaller but talented producers don't get a chance to prove themselves in Hungary, just because of politics - even though you can see, that there ARE talented guys (and girls) here working on epic movies like Dune or Poor Things.

Sorry, I was hoping for more. This movie is more of a turbocharged costume marvel than a historical adventure. I expected more and especially a more faithful following of real events. When will we understand that a movie story is original. If it is based on real events, it should be better aligned with them. If it's made up, then write at the beginning that it's just a made up story. But then the names and places should be transformed accordingly.

That not really!

If the children taken out of school form an image of the events of 1948 based on this, it is not appropriate to grade their paper!

Actualy the facts Tell the story. The movie is indeed so bad, that none is wanting to see it. At this moment it can be seen free of charge. Yet , none wants to see it. A few payd actors do give this movie a higher Than 1 star rating , but the reality is , its not even worth zero stars.

But lets see the good side. If ever you are disapointed by a movie , Just think about thisone. And presto , you will see, it could had been worse. Way worse.

Ironic, but this is the only way this movie can make some sense. A lot of money was put in it , a lot of absolutely wasted efforth. The end result is anything but coherent. Allso its not historicly accurate .

Philip Rákay got a lot of money to create a good movie and he tried. In this small country, we have good creators, but he is a propagandist.

In 2015: Son of Saul. 01:47 mins and the cost: 450m HuF (4m HuF/min) In 2016: Sing. 00:25 mins and the cost: 10m HuF (400.000 HuF/min)

This movie is 02:15 mins and the cost: 6564m HuF (48.6m HuF/min). We can spend a lot, but it is not correlate with the quality. The acting was bad. The scripts were empty. The history has been changed. This is a boring movie with a few good episodes.

This story required a much more better movie because it is a very significant event in Hungarian history.

What a torture!

Obviously, the best part of this nonsense is when the credits start rolling. Hungary has lost its power over the last 15 years with our young and educated escaping this regime, this movie clearly shows the intellectual depth the ruling 2/3 is capable for...

If the film were done well, a revolution would start against the ruling party, and this is the film that the original Petofi and those around him would like.

Those who cried... I totally get you. The waste of money sunk under this title could be much better used in healthcare or education, to name a few.

Save your eyes/soul; stay away!
