Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Features impressive performances by the three main characters and powerful naturalistic cinematography.
Fresh: Oleg Mutu's deft handheld camerawork and Mungiu's meticulous reconstruction of Ceausescu-era Romania, in all its corruption, hypocrisy and drab cleanliness, create an overweening atmosphere of dread.
Fresh: This is a beautiful film about ugly circumstances, set in 1987 near the end of the Ceausescu era in communist Romania.
Fresh: First, this movie should be enjoyed. Later, marveled at. And then, once the excitement has faded, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days really should be studied, because director Cristian Mungiu creates scenes unlike any ever filmed.
