Klaus & Barroso (2024)
Don't bother. They start making movies by the dozen.
Movie is weak because the script is weak. Characters poorly written, lacking action, it feels like the production happened based on: "let's make a movie" instead of "we have an idea for a movie, let's try and shape that into a real thing".
It is a chamber piece, everything happens in the same location and this, to me, makes the movie really static and boring. It is like a cheap theater play. Mostly situational comedy where the said situations seem extremely forced.
I cannot comment on the actors' performance, because I'm sure it must have been hell to try and shine while playing those poorly written characters, but the result was disastrous. MCN had the only nearly decent character-acting combo.
Miami Bici (2020)
I laughed
In my honest opinion, I think the movie set new standards for Romanian productions.
I know, it's not the best movie out there, it's definitely not going to win any Oscars, but, to me, it felt like I finally saw a Romanian movie that is Hollywood worthy, not like other European festival movies(which seem very niche and mostly noir).
The acting could have been better, the script could have been better, A LOT could have been better, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Among the scenes that I remember disliking is the "doamna mamaie/miss granny". The first time it was funny, emphasizing it a second time felt forced out.
