Sieranevada (2016) Movie Review

Sieranevada (2016) Review

Another excellent and well filmed Romanian movie. Very different than the other, this movie reminded me of the play and the movie "Carnage". A bunch of people, in an apartment, staying and talking to each other. Simple and superb. It's run time is very long, it's almost three hours but in those three hours you don't get bored not even for a minute. Every second we spent with these characters gives us another piece of information about there character and the story that is unfolding. Of course, when you have a dozen people in a rather small apartment, it tends to get a bit conflictual. Even outside of the apartment we get a couple of arguments. Thru these arguments you can see how people would react in a very stressful situation or even an environment. A weird thing about this whole movie is that no one is sitting at the table. There are so many conflicts and happenings that nobody remembers that they have to sit and eat. Of course, we get some reasons why this is happening and some of the characters says they are hungry but even then nobody is sitting at the damn table. And at the end of the movie, when you think that everything has calmed down and everyone is gathering around the table, pops up another situation and only two of the characters remained seated. An intelligent, funny and grounded movie. Another plus for the Romanian cinema. Well done! 9/10
