Just like I've pictured it when I was a kid
28 March 2023
So glad to see someone had the guts to put this otherwise horrible "kids tale" into picture. Maia Morgenstern is at the highest of her abilities here, playing the widowed "Goat". But sure enough, the story wasn't about any "goat" or "wolf", as wolves do not eat "sarmale". I always considered this story was not for the kids. My kids will only discover this story now that they are adults, as I chose not to tell them this story when they were young.

Hats down to the director, who managed to show me they had the same mental images as those I've pictured when I was a kid. Difficult backgrounds we have to deal with :-)

excellent

I'm a romanian born during the communist era, this film's action is placed around the years I came to the world. So I've watched this film primarily for understanding my parent's life. Well, not only I know a bit more, but I've discovered a touching and very deeply sensitive author and film director. There are moments in the film I couldn't help it and had tears in the eyes. Then other moments where deep human relationships gave me hope. And she's already understanding the problems idealists can create. She has it all, as far as I can say.
