    So Much Entertainment & Wisdom Packed Into 25minutes!!!

    This beautiful short film has it ALL--a child's point of view, gorgeous music, great cinematography, brilliant and beautiful actors and a surprise ending. It is like reading a short story by O. Henry and watching all the characters unfold while feeling great attachment for some and disdain for others. I have never seen a Hungarian film prior to this one and "Mindenki aka Sing" was certainly a wonderful introduction. It is a film that I'd be willing to watch again and that everyone should experience at least once.

    Celebrating Trophy Culture

    This was a charming piece overall. The young girls gave exceptional performances and the writing did exemplify competence in film storytelling. All of the moments worked except for what happens in the end. Inventive way of dealing with the problem of exclusion but it sends the message that everyone should be accepted. For example, a basketball team would now have to accept anyone who goes out for the team and let them play merely because they show up. Forget whether they can play or not, like it used to be, they just have to show up. This is pretty much what the film is telling us and when you see it you will know what I mean.

    The most effective short movie what I ever seen

    This movie of Deák Kristóf seems to be a simple, cute story what is lacking all of valid content, and I though that too before I watched this movie. But it is not a simple, cute story what is lacking all of valid content, it is just cute and simple. Regardless it's cuteness it has got a critics of most of education system on the world, because most of them doom that - excluding the most extremist cases - every children has got a potential to learn anything they want. And this movie answers that if it is true or not, and that how it effect to the hierarchy between the children, the self-esteem of them and how it effects to the power of the teacher.

    That was the movie what gives back my trust towards the Hungarian movies

    Sorry for my bad English

    More plot holes than in a piece of emmental cheese

    First the positive: kudos for the actors.

    Now the bad: everything else. We should believe none, not any of the juries, any of the parents, neither the members of the choir noticed any problem. Neither why the teacher don't even try to close the gaps. The connections between the characters are entirely artificial. And we should believe the kids, who segregated themselves so much they have an absolutely strict order where to sit when (even during recess), and despite there is free space they ostracize a student by refusing to sit there - these kids supposedly can cooperate to any noble purpose.

    If we'd go into details the problems would just accumulate. I suggest leave this thing alone.

    And I am a hungarian. Well, not according to the Prime Law - which never had the proper authorization -, which strips everyone not Christian their citizenship, so I assume my opinion doesn't matter there.

    Loved it

    "Mindenki" is a captivating and thought-provoking short film that explores the themes of conformity and individuality within a children's choir. The film's strength lies in its powerful performances, particularly from the young actors who portray the students. Their talent and emotional depth bring authenticity to the story. The music in the film is beautifully composed and adds to the overall atmosphere. However, one weakness of the film is its limited runtime, which leaves some aspects of the narrative feeling underdeveloped. Additionally, the cinematography, while visually pleasing, could have been more dynamic to enhance the storytelling. Overall, "Mindenki" is a poignant and impactful short film that raises important questions about identity and the pressure to conform. It's definitely worth a watch for its strong performances and thought-provoking subject matter.
