Mirciulica (2022)

Beginners begin from somewhere

I think the essence of the movie plot is related to the hard times Romania was offering to its youngsters 15 years ago or more. Lots of places where mediocrity prevailed or meritocracy was something to dream of. As a youngster, you could look weird because you were thinking healthy. Or you could get appreciated but kept somewhere aside as a nice guy, not being able to make an impact and change things. Now we are living in other times. For people not living those times I imagine this movie makes less sense.

Now, how good was the movie in expressing artistically those times or how funny, that's a different story.

I think it looked as made by beginners. Characters could have been better shaped, better played, jokes could have been better, the image overall could have been better.

However, I am happy that Mircea (Bravo) made the movie, going past the YouTube sketches and I hope his movies will get better and better.
