Steven Mar 2, 2020 This film is entertaining but difficult to follow ask the characters See more

Jim P @RT08384096 Aug 2, 2024 Worth a watch, just for the playfulness! And that crazy whistling language 😂 See more

Alec B @Alec97 Jan 9, 2024 The ending doesn't really work but it is impressive that the movie takes such a wild concept and makes it convincing for the most part. The recurring jokes and references to the ubiquity of American cultural are a nice touch. See more

Mar 12, 2022 Critics seem to love this. The trailer made it look like an intriguing comedy-thriller. It is not. Don’t be swayed by all the raves about Romanian New Wave and deliberately deadpan delivery, pulp fiction etc. It has an interesting premise, but there is zero connection between the viewer and any of the characters, not any credible connection between the characters themselves. One character goes to an island to learn a whole new whistling language, only to use it for about two sentences in the whole film? And after a certain number of double-crossings, it begins to not matter who’s side anyone is on. See more

May 4, 2021 Nah. Not in the least. I don’t understand how any of these plot points connect, who the characters are, what they want, what the timeline is. None of this film makes sense. Nothing is at stake. Everyone knows everything. I’m so surprised that it has such good reviews. I think that people were amazed that an “avant-garde” filmmaker could make something so “traditional.” See more
