    many gifts

    The first gift of the film is Miki Manojlovic. The fans of Kusturica know why. The second - in my case- Maia Morgenstern. The secod gift - the atmosphere, and the simplicity of story and flavours of so many books, films, near reality fragment. Not the last - the special poetry proposed by the absence of dialogue and the cinematography. And, sure, the boy, the great small boy. So, many gifts of this not ordinary but profound touching of Cinderella story.

    Beautiful movie about a different kind of life.

    Great acting, beautiful shots, awesome music and most of all, an interesting story said without speaking a word. Definitely for the more intelligent viewers.

    2 words 6 letters = Quirky realness.

    Quirky. Real. Real quirky. Don't listen to negative reviews. Try it. Glorious depiction of a boring life turned around, for just a minute. Some cruelty, strange passages and events. Modern day Cinderella with some quirky realness. Don't be afraid. Try it.

    Today it feels perfect! :-)

    A poetic, funny and touching modern-times re-imagining of the Cinderella story and Chaplin's The Kid with a good cast, lovable characters, beautiful cinematography and a very fitting soundtrack. Oh, and with almost no words. :-)

    I really enjoyed the fact there is a bit of everything in this movie - comedy, drama, action, suspense, erotica; love, hope, exasperation, misunderstanding, sadness, cruelty, humanity...

    Unlike other people, I don't think the artistic exaggeration in a couple of the scenes was over the top - this is one of the main characteristics of comedy and in this specific instance it actually helped show in an amusing way the character's dedication to complete the mission. From what I heard around me after the end credits, the rest of the audience seemed to agree with me. Also, everyone laughed a good deal which counts as a great success in my books.

    What a fantastic piece of silent comedic art

    I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I saw it on a whim. It didn't take long for the silent story to captivate me, and having travelled myself to similar cultured places was surprised to see the authenticity. The story is an obvious take on Cinderella where the protagonist is trying to find one specific person who owns this bra. But with a unique culture twist. I enjoyed it very much
