Philip De Semlyen Empire Magazine Hampered by pacing that borders on glacial, the performances infuse the story with lingering melancholy. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out Naturalistic performances, long takes, unfussy edits and a story that unfolds over a few hours are all present and correct. Rated: 3/6 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review James Christopher Times (UK) An impressive chamber piece by a director who needs watching. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net Three 30-somethings relive their gloriously lurid college days for one night only in Radu Muntean's Boogie, a restrained and honest look at the male midlife crisis in an embryonic state. Jan 20, 2009 Full Review Jon Fortgang Film4 Small but sharp and extremely well observed. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Tim Evans Sky Cinema This is superior film-making, equally comfortable with the light (Boogie's obvious delight in his nipper and the realistic family dynamic) to the dark (his risibly macho deceipt with a jolly hooker). Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Camero W Super well shot and the timing was spot on. The ending made me mad at Boogie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Some may quibble with the pacing, but the ensemble acting and direction are all superb. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Macar e mai bun decat majoritatea filmelor post-comuniste. O sa mai avem vreodata filme ca Dacii sau Mihai Viteazul la care sa ne uitam relaxati duminica dupa-masa? Se pare ca toti directorii moderni incearca din toate puterile sa ne ofere numa filme de cacat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Even if it is improvised by actors its been done superbly,during those long shots..!!! guess the whole movie consists of 10 or 12 shots....!! The great thing about this movie is that there's nothing great in it,Radu Muntean has tried his best to show this story in the simplest and most honest way possible... Impressive....! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely boring movie. I went into this expecting that it would be a fun young people comedy and instead found a snorefest about a 30 something guy and his boring middle aged friends. The acting in this is extremely forced, from boring family drama, to boring friends and extremely tame flashbacks from his youth. If you need a sleeping pill - this movie provides it in spades. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A really honest Romanian film about a 30-year-old man coming to terms with his life. At times it drags, but it is worth it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
