Teens will be teens

Pretty decent coming-of-age with believable and sympathetic enough characters only it got me so worked up at least half of the movie (saw it in two sessions) cause most everybody annoyed me with how stupid they were. Dad was so out of line and insulting to Horia but Horia was just plain stupid and deluded and Stela was such a brat and it was like the "perfect" combination to get into trouble, which they did, and thank god things didn't turn out worse than they did cause it was touch and go a few times.Also, I had some issue with Vladimir Teca's acting, who plays Horia, the intonation seems off and uninvolved quite a few times, but maybe that's how teenagers speak nowadays? He is ok most of the times, it's just here and there. Stela seems better. Annoying as heck, but better.Nice views and an interesting soundtrack.Also, I really felt that moment of disillusionment, when he realizes how naive he has been about Ana.

Horia

Review: Horia - A Quiet Thunderstorm of Emotion and HumanityRarely does a film manage to balance raw emotional power with poetic restraint quite like Horia, a standout entry in the evolving landscape of Romanian cinema. Directed with remarkable sensitivity, Horia offers a minimalist yet deeply resonant story that lingers long after the credits roll.At its core, Horia is a quiet exploration of alienation, identity, and connection. The titular character, portrayed with subdued brilliance, carries the weight of unspoken trauma and yearning in every glance and gesture. His journey is not filled with grand events, but rather with subtle revelations - the kind that mirror real life in its most intimate moments.The film's cinematography is breathtaking in its simplicity. Rural Romania is captured with a naturalistic beauty that both grounds the story and elevates it. Each frame feels like a painting: still, intentional, and emotionally charged. The sound design, too, avoids artifice - allowing the creak of floorboards, the rustle of trees, and the quiet between conversations to speak volumes.Director resists the temptation of melodrama, opting instead for realism that invites the viewer to listen, to observe, and to feel. This is a film that demands patience - but rewards it generously. There are no easy answers in Horia, but its questions are profoundly human.In a cinematic world often dominated by noise and spectacle, Horia is a whisper - and like all true whispers, it carries a truth that shouts.Horia is not just a film - it's a quiet act of emotional bravery. An essential watch for anyone.

A much needed first for the Romanian cinema stage

For Romanian cinema, this is a more than welcome premiere, enjoyable through its simple, youthful and sensitive insight.The debut of quite talented director Ana Maria Comanescu and two young actors - Vladimir Teca and Angelina Pavel - enhances the playful, romantic and sometimes humourous nature of the film.This is a well-known theme, that of the coming of age. Based on a simple script, the fresh and deep atmosphere of the film support the adventure that follows. I won't spoil it - just say it involves an old motorcycle, a boy and a girl, and some beautiful landscapes.Both young actors are quite charismatic and know how to pace their rhythm throughout the film. The supporting characters are spot on and make their point in a very subtle way.Do see this film, for its earnest and subtle look on youth and life. It's good for the soul.
