Autoportretul unei fete cuminti (2015) Online

I'm just sorry for those how had to act. Very long scenes.. Awful, why people even consider this art?! It seems all most all of the Romanian movies are sad and fallow the same pattern: very long scenes in which nothing happens, all drama, all naked people pointless, all this stupid and an irrelevant conversations, going nowhere. It seem the people that write this scrips and the ones how produce this movies are stuck it the past. From my point of view, the movie is a totally failure. I know it's a low budget, but there are lot of low budget movies that are a hit, because the movie has something interesting to say. I had the filing that all the movie could of said everything in 5 minutes. I do no recommended it. It is boring...

This is a Romanian film that meanders along without achieving much of anything, but for all that I quite enjoyed it. It follows engineering student Cristiana, who lives alone but is still dependent on her father to pay the bills. Virtually the only continuous plot thread is Cristiana sulking because daddy will not give her the money to buy an expensive pedigree dog (it does not seem to occur to her that if she can not afford to buy the dog in the first place, she certainly will not be able to afford to buy it food and to pay the vet's bills!) The rest of the time we see her have conversations with her friends, attend tedious lectures and spend time with her unpleasant (and married, naturally) boyfriend.

There is a lot of talk in the film which makes it a tough watch for those following the sub-titles, although director Ana Lungu helps by mostly using a static camera so the viewer is not distracted by changes of perspective - although this also means the many and lengthy scenes with no dialogue or action, such as Cristiana standing on her balcony smoking, are in danger of dragging on too long. Lead actress Elena Popa provides a likable if slightly infuriating heroine, and in general most of the cast are competent - a notable exception being Dan Lungu as her father, who may be aiming for 'subtle' but instead comes across as 'uninterested'.

Movies generally tend to fall in 2 categories: entertainment and art. There are also a few select movies which manage to be both... and those are the great ones! This movie certainly isn't entertainment, it's actually so boring that it could be used as a definition for what entertainment is NOT. So it must be art, right? Wrong again! This isn't art, I wouldn't even call it a movie, but is listed here on IMDb, so it must be. Looong scenes, boring characters, pointless conversations... really, it was an ordeal to watch it.

This movie is a disaster. Nothing really happens here. The conversations are trite, such as dogs or how one looks like.

Take this so bad it's funny scene: the doctoral candidate meets her supervisor and we only hear the professor talking-she does not interact in any way.

The only remotely interesting happenings are the meetings along a table: with her family and other one with friends.
