It was interesting for me to read some comments from people who couldn't make it until the unhappy ending. Indeed, this is a very slow movie, so maybe if someone expects an action-based crime movie, he will be surely disappointed.
However, for me it was a much deeper experience than a usual Hollywood- style piece: when the viewer's eye gets used to the tempo, it start to discover odd, sometimes funny details, insights, old reflexes.
I saw this movie in a Romanian Film Festival in Budapest and it seemed that those in the audience speaking Romanian liked it much more than those who could just read the subtitles, but still I would suggest this movie to everyone with some interest in general moral problems, human relations and, mostly, in how does it feel to live in a not too nice post-communist town.
