The film director lays out a tense atmosphere, weaving the plot through the dramatic conflict between family members, and the characters are very clear. However, this obviously man-made tense atmosphere is very incompatible with the natural-style performance. The director deliberately confines the scene in a small space, so that quarrels, car horns, and road construction are always flooded in the audience's eardrums. Similar emotions, The passionate lines and the third-angle panning made the viewing process very tiring and extremely uncomfortable.
The film's skillful scheduling is commendable, and it contains a large number of fixed shots and long shots. The two together are a double-edged sword. If you shoot well, you will have a profound artistic conception and endless aftertaste. The hypnotic spell, especially the film is nearly three hours long, and many scenes of the family's trivial life are like an unprocessed home video. Even if there are some humorous quotations in it, they are drowned in the vast trivialities.
It is true that terrorist attacks are a very gimmicky subject, and it is also very interesting to have a glimpse of Romanian family life, which is deeply influenced by the Orthodox Church, and the dialogue movies that are simple and approachable can extend very far. However, as an audience in a film with so many advantages, it is completely unable to integrate into the family's discussions and emotions, and cannot empathize. This film did not successfully depict a picture of all beings in the family, everyone was anxious and irritable, pale and ordinary.
