Copy-paste of Ion Creanga story, nothing new
26 March 2023
I'll give it 2 stars because the atmosphere, the tone and the sounds are pretty good, and some scenes have a little bit of suspense. Other than this, the story is exactly, word by word, like the original story, but instead of goat and wolf, it has people.

This movie doesn't bring anything new to the story. It has people but they behave exactly as in the story. The villain has no reason to kill the kids, he just do it. The director could have invented some story of lost love, betrayal, something in the past between the goat and the wolf. There is none.

The number of characters are extremely limited, basically is a movie with 5 actors. Like a theatre scene. And there are a lot of filler scenes where absolutely nothing happens, and I mean totally nothing. Like 3-4min where the goat gathers some wood in the forest. I'm sure those scenes are just to create a movie 1.5h long, and I'm glad I had some buttons to speed up the movie.

It's a romanian movie that doesn't rise above the general country level, which is light-years away from Hollywood movies, even the bad ones.

Time wasted, I'm glad I did not waste also money, since I did not watch it in the cinema.
