Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jim After watching this movie that currently has a IMDb rating of 7.0, all I can ask is "you're kidding, right?" Are things so bad in Romania that this passes for entertainment? I hope that I'm not giving anything away, but there is a scene where the lead character was eating soup for about five minutes or so, alone and in silence, except for the sounds of his slurping the soup. Not exactly what I would call exciting police action. Watching him trail a couple of kids over and over again through the streets on foot didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat either. Watching him waiting outside of his boss's office for several minutes while his partner reads the paper and the secretary is typing on her computer keyboard and clicking the mouse...not good either. (I hope I didn't ruin it for anyone.)Where exactly was the scene or scenes in this movie that influenced so many people to rate the movie so highly? Am I just not sophisticated enough to see the genius in this movie? You could easily find standing in a line at the DMV, waiting in your doctor's office while he's running 45 minutes late, or being caught in a two hour traffic jam during a snowstorm to be just as entertaining.

jeffluk Police, adjective. Made me wonder when I first read that title - 'what does it mean?' There's a lot of that in this film, looking for meaning, or truth as some would call it.This is certainly one of the most realistic films I have ever seen, but it is also one of the most boring! Basically, you follow a cop on an investigation. The case itself is very serious. It involves arresting a schoolboy, which means prison time, for the offense of using, and offering drugs to, his school friends. Believe me, this film is serious.The police are also serious. They're diligent. They do things by the book. Well done to Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu for meticulously driving this point home. Sometimes though, they also have a 'conscience'. Sometimes.As painstaking as this film was to sit through, I'm glad I did. There is a reason the director chose this bland portrayal of reality. Beneath the layers of mundane moments, there is a simple and important message. The film makes clever use of language and conversation to get that message across. I wont spoil it here, see it to find out.Good film, but 2/10. The police are no fun. But I will look out for more from Corneliu Porumboiu.

Nea Vasile This is not a movie, is a waste of time. The dialogs and the acting is good for a primate, not for a decent human being. Please if you have anything else to do, just skip this so called movie, highly overrated by "romanian movie fans", mostly soap opera movie lovers. Just not worth it. The film plot is non existing, storyline is not a real storyline. The director simply doesn't know how to stop shooting and when enough is really enough. As someone else says, this film doesn't have any visual nudity. I really don't know why people are trying to make such movies these days, what's the point of delivering a movie who doesn't deliver anything?

Amir Siddique loved it, so simple, yet meaningful, real-life like, and profound. Enjoyed every minute of it. The movie is full of peace, love! Any person who loves to look deeper in movies and scripts will immensely enjoy the experience.This movie makes you think that how in studio movies, we have moved away from real life and into make-up, gadgetry, fancy cars, fancy houses and in the process we loose the real feeling that makes a movie close to life. The movie is set in no pretentious neighborhood, no fancy houses, cars, dresses and gadgets. Because all is real.Plot: a police detective is faced by a situation where his moral voice does not allow him to follow orders and become a party in the arrest of some kids who smoke hashish. He believes that if he became a party to the arrest, his will never be able to walk with clear conscious. The movie is all about how he does not want to do something which he thinks will haunt him for the rest of his life.
