When you saw the title you must think there must be something about Christmas ! Wrong...just a good title with no major connection with Christmas ! If you're not Romanian i think it's hard to see the mediocrity of language, regular life, normal behavior. Long takes seems to prove that ... !
If you have a choleric sparkle temper you will not like this movie but i'm sure that critics will love it because i see this movie like a statement, a manifest, a counteraction against today movie industry. It's what we Romanians call "like a dry joke" ... i guess you'd say black humor. It's like when you expect a superhero to save the world he's hit by a bus. If you expect the extraordinary you will not get it. Very good acting ! But do we look at movies to see something ordinary ?
